Using the Webex App

Webex Contacts

• Rowan University contacts are available by default in Webex. When you search for someone in Webex, your search automatically includes your local Outlook contacts (Windows) or local address book (Mac) along with the Rowan Global Address Book.
• Add personal contacts - You can create a Contacts list, add up to 500 contacts of your choosing (including contacts that are local to your device), and then group them and customize the contact information.
  
• Once your contacts are populated, simply click the "Contacts" icon in the left pane of the app and search for the person you'd like to contact. You can quickly start an audio or video call, or open the contact for more options including direct messaging.
  
  
  

Webex Messaging

• Send a Message In Webex, messages are used to chat with colleagues, and share content and ideas. You can send a message to someone directly or to a group within Spaces. Messages can include a maximum of 5400 characters.
  
  • Start a one-on-one conversation For contacts that are Webex users, search for the contact you would like to message and open it to send a direct message. For group chats with 2 or more people, you will need to create a space for it.
    
    
    
    
• Create a Space:  In Webex, when you send a message to a group for the first time, you create a space for the group to talk. Spaces work best for a group of people collaborating on a specific topic or project. You can send messages, make calls, have video meetings, share files, and use whiteboards. The next time you message the group, your conversation picks right up where you've left it.
  
  
  
  
  • Add people to a space: You can invite anyone you'd like to either a Team or a Space! Each space can have a maximum of 5,000 people in it.
    
    • If the individual is a Rowan user – Simply select the space you want to add them to, enter their name and select them from the list.
    • If the individual is external to Rowan – Simply select the space you want add them to, enter their email address and press Enter to invite them. If the invited user doesn't have a Webex account already, they will receive an email from Cisco inviting them to join using the email address you entered.
