Webex Meetings + Portal from Facebook
When the world needs to work, the world works on Webex. That’s why we’re excited to be part of Facebook’s new announcement to bring Webex on Portal to the millions of people working from home. Adding the Webex you know and love to Portal extends your ability to meet anywhere, on any device.
Webex has always easily connected you with your colleagues, customers, and partners – face to face – no matter where you are working. Portal has found a place in many lives for its ability to deepen the connection between family and friends no matter where they are located. And now, with Webex, it has a natural place in your home work environment. Designed to help you feel more engaged and immersed in daily interactions with your teams, Portal now can be your dedicated screen for Webex video calls.
Creating a Great #WFH Experience
Webex and Portal are a natural fit – offering you the key ingredients to create a great work from home experience. Webex brings high-quality video and audio, one-button to push, recording, and collaborative sharing enables a stellar video experience on any device – and now you can get the same easy, consistent experience on Portal.
Webex lets you easily schedule, join, record, and play back your meetings. Just press the green button when you want to get started. With Webex on Portal, you don’t even have to take notes. If provisioned by your IT department, automated captions, highlights, action items and notetaking mean you can focus on interacting with other meeting participants. Once your meeting is over, access your recording from the Webex app and play it back on your Portal.
Webex supports virtual backgrounds on Portal, allowing you to change or clean up your background depending on your mood. And depending on your configuration, Webex will let you live stream your Webex meetings to Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and any other real-time messaging platforms – directly from your Portal device!
Best of all, Webex is highly secure without compromising the user experience. Security built in from the beginning, not bolted on as an after-thought.
When using Portal from Facebook, be sure to add Webex for your meetings. Together, you’ll get more done from your kitchen table, living room, or home office with the Webex experience you love.

This is great news, webex is flourishing… couple of questions though
[] Why is webex not targeted for Educational institutes? There huge potential. I do not hear even one Educational institute using webex in India at least.
[] why can’t it be given free to the users for a limited usage(not limited time period)? Like google meet.
And take benefit by pushing ads of Cisco products or even for 3rd party products like Google ads.
Webex is deeply engaged in the education sector and has long had programs dedicated to helping teachers and students teach/learn anywhere https://www.webex.com/industries/education.html. But please stay tuned. We have much more coming in the near future. We have special pricing for teachers and students, but a free Webex offer is also available to everyone. Please check out Webex https://cart.webex.com/sign-up-webex.
I love, Cisco webex
What’s the ETA on this being available in the UK
Any plans for Webex on Oculus for Business?
Hi Sylvain, we did integrate Webex on Facebook Oculus for Business, see this PoC https://youtu.be/XJXxofQtU_k. For more details and future plans, feel free to reach out to me on Webex: oproffit@cisco.com.
Any ETA for this ? Tired of low quality audio/video issues.
Any update on this ? ALL other platforms (Zoom, GotoMeeting and Bluejeans) that were announced along with the Webex is already there and working great.
Unfortunately Webex that is used at my work is still not there. This would be of great use while we are all working from home, please share a plan on this. If not, these other video conferencing services seems a better choice to ask for at work!
