Before the meeting

If you are using WebEx for the first time it is very important to make sure that you have the right players installed to view the media files in the meeting.   If you do not have administrator privileges on your computer
you may need to contact you own Organization’s IT support to install these players.

WebEx will automatically setup Meeting Manager for Windows the first time you join a meeting. To save time, you can setup necessary software prior to the meeting by clicking this link: https://who-meeting.webex.com/who-meeting/meetingcenter/mcsetup.php

On the day of the meeting

Please try to log-on at least 15 minutes in advance to the WebEx session to allow you to test the connection
and audio quality of your computer.  The session will be open early to allow for this. The meeting will be transmitted in
six language sessions, so make sure you click and register on the right language invitation link below While on WebEx, please remember to activate the mute button. The operator will automatically mute, but sometimes with many
listeners this can be difficult, and people speak without realizing they can be heard.
