OHSU Information Technology offers online meeting space and video conferencing through Cisco Webex Meetings, helping connect colleagues across Oregon and around the world.

Getting started

Although you can join a Webex meeting from a browser, for the best experience it’s recommended to download and install the Webex app before your meeting. If using a browser, Chrome or Firefox are the most compatible with Webex.

Audio-only meetings

You can also join a Webex meeting from your phone. Please note that you will not be able to see any shared materials or video from your phone.  The dial-in number and meeting access code will be in your meeting invitation. 

What do you need for audio and video?

• A computer (Mac/PC) or mobile device with an active internet connection
• A computer headset is strongly recommended
• A web camera if you plan to join a meeting by video
