Webex App | Invite others to join you

Webex App allows you to invite anyone you wish to join you to be a part of the meeting. An email invitation will be sent to them that includes a download link for the app, which they will need to download. I would suggest that you ask the person to check their spam folder if they have not been able to find the invitation. To sign up for WebEx, make sure they go to https://web.webex.com if it is not already there.
