Any single Webex meeting (including Webex Meetings, Events, and Training) can have a maximum of 1,000 attendees.
Up to 500 of those total attendees may connect by phone.
Up to 1,000 attendees can connect by VoIP (using audio through the computer with a headset).
While 1,000 total attendees are possible, it is important to be aware of the maximums for each audio type (500 by phone and 1000 computer). Here are some examples:
There are two important tasks you need to complete if you are moving from ResPlus/Intercall to Webex with CCA:
Log into your Intercall account and download any saved recorded meetings. These will no longer be available once your ResPlus/Intercall account is deleted.
If you previously used Webex with a ResPlus/Intercall audio account (using a phone number with an 888 prefix) and have transitioned to Webex (phone number with an 844 prefix), you will need to update your Outlook meetings with new Webex meeting numbers/codes and access phone numbers.
Before you begin, be sure to set up your PCN and have the Webex Productivity Tools installed.
Follow the same process above to update recurring meetings. Be sure that you choose to edit the entire series when doing so. This will ensure that the changes will be made to future meetings under the same meeting number.
