Participants in DA WebEx meetings are asked to use a standardized format for the displayed your Participant Name.
Recent changes in the WebEx Join Meeting process mean that it is not always intuitive to change your Participant Name once it is saved in your computerYou need to set your Participant Name before you join a WebEx meeting. There are in a couple of different options described below.
Using WebEx within DA
A few pointers on how we use WebEx within Democrats Abroad
Never “Sign In” or “Log In” to WebEx, only select => Join Meeting
DA users do not have individual WebEx user accounts, so no-one ever “signs in” to a meeting, only use the Join Meeting button/linkAlways include your Full Name and your Country Committee, and Position as part of your Participant Name:
e.g., Mary Jones (Latvia, Chair)If you have joined with an incorrect Participant Name, you need to “Leave Meeting” and re-Join to be able to change your Participant Name
=> You must first Leave a meeting to be able to change your name.
=> You can then Re-Join the meeting with the correct Participant NameYou should make note of the WebEx Meeting Number, and the Meeting Password – you will need these to Join a any DA meeting.
