Common Questions

What is the maximum number of people I can have in one meeting?

Up to 1000 participants may be able to join any Webex center meeting (Meeting or Training). The participant total includes the host, note taker, and closed captions. Note: 5,000 attendees are supported in Webex Webinar. 

I scheduled my meeting for 1 hour; will it end automatically when the hour is up?

No. The meeting will continue until it is ended by you or an alternate host. Participants can leave the meeting at any time, however.  A tone will sound, and a participant's name will be added to the list of meeting attendees when a participant enters a meeting.  A similar tone will sound, and a Participant's name will disappear from the attendees list when a participant exits a meeting.

Troubleshooting

No attendees have joined your meeting

Verify the invitation contains the correct URL and verify your time zone is correct.  Once verified, contact attendees to rule out other technical issues.
