The Webex Meetings desktop app package includes two parts: the in-meeting app, which allows you to host or participate in meetings, and the pre-meeting app, which resides on your desktop.

May 15, 2020 I'm currently having almost the same issue. I have Windows10 and using Dell 7390-2-in-1 laptop and for some reason the Webex Meetings Desktop App stopped working for me. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app but it did not resolve the issue. Although I can connect via web browser with no issues. Thank you for your time. The Webex Meetings web app is easy to navigate, with shared content or video in the center and meeting controls underneath. You can chat with people, share your screen, and see who else is in the meeting, among other things. Switch to the Desktop App. If you need more functionality, you can switch seamlessly to the desktop app on Mac and Windows. This guide will help you to fix the issue of your Upcoming Meetings/Events not showing in the Desktop App. Windows: Click on the gear in the top right corner, then click on Preferences. Mac: Click on Cisco Webex Meetings in your menu bar, then click on Preferences. In the Preferences, go to the calendar tab in the left menu.

Webex Meetings Desktop App

You can use the pre-meeting desktop app to join meetings, whether or not you have a Webex account. If you sign in with a host account, you can start meetings instantly, schedule meetings, join your scheduled meetings, add integrations to join meetings from other apps, and detect nearby video devices. If you sign in with an attendee account, you can see and join your upcoming meetings and detect nearby video devices.

If you don't have an account or haven't signed in, you can still use the Webex Meetings desktop app as a guest to see your upcoming meetings, easily join your meetings, and connect to a video device.
