Authorization to install an Active X control may be required by your computer if you have not previously participated in a webex conference. See note below for risk discussion.
Audio
For spontaneous 1 on 1 unscheduled conferences, Audio will be over the existing phone connection independent of the conference.
For scheduled conferences with more than 2 participants, audio will be via the dial in conference number listed after logging in to the web conference session. Participants may also choose to use Voice over IP if they have a computer headset. Conferences with audio may be optionally recorded so participants can review or share the discussion with a colleague. Recording will capture both the screen display and the audio.
The host may designate who is the presenter. The presenter may optionally share their screen and grant control of their keyboard and mouse to chosen participants. Remote control of a customer's computer is often used to walk the customer through a proposal or documentation workproduct.
ActiveX Control Installation Risk?
You browser will validate the webex security certificate, which should give you some piece of mind. Additionally, the webex service is owned and operated by Cisco, which is the leading router provider in the world, so they understand the security issues. Webex is one of the leading web meeting services so it is easily researchable.
