How to access the WebEx portal at nsula.webex.com and set up or join a meeting.

Cisco WebEx Meetings is available to all students, faculty, and staff at NSU. Our paid services from WebEx have benefits like global call-in capability, accountability and details for time spent, higher quality of service, and greater safety and isolation from intruders. It's available for PC or Mac, through web browsers, and mobile devices from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Rather than using free Internet services, WebEx should be used for all video teleconferencing needs at NSU. To get started with a new meeting on your computer, follow these instructions:

1 - Go to webex.nsula.edu in your web browser.

2 - Click Sign In.  (Note: You can also download the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App from here.  It is not required, but it is another option to starting a WebEx Meeting as shown later.)



3 - Type in your email address in the next screen and click Next.



To join a personal meeting room or meeting by 9-digit number

If you have been sent a meeting invite from one of your colleagues, you should be able to click on the link in your colleague's invite to join them. If you are joining a publicly announced meeting or have no direct invite link, you can search for meeting rooms or meetings by their 9-digit number. Every personal meeting room has a corresponding 9-digit meeting number, as well.

Go to the search bar and type in your colleague's name, email address, or the 9-digit meeting number.  Once it appears in the dropdown, select Start to join the specified room.

To schedule a meeting for later

Use the Schedule button located to the right of Start a Meeting. Adjust the settings in the next page and add your participants by e-mail. The meeting will be shown in the Upcoming Meetings section for all participants when they sign in to nsula.webex.com.
