Customer Reviews

A good introduction for the uninformed.

My company signed on to webex. I figured I should know a little more just in case people need help. Overall it's a decent book. It will give you a back ground on the product and it will walk you through the steps of setting up a meeting. It explains the tools such as white boards that are available. The book even breaks the meetings into types such as training, sales and and product marketing. There is one chapter for administrating it which I am not sure it was needed as the admin stuff is rather small. One thing I thought was odd was a chapter on the top 10 question for tech support and then there was a FAQ. Seemed like a duplication of information. Overall its a good book but I am not sure it's needed especially as a reference. Webex has many online resources and even offer training that covers much of the information presented. This book could answer questions about webex, especially if you are considering it.

Perfect! Just What I Needed.

This book was great. I'm new to WebEx, in fact new to web conferencing. I was a little intimidated at first, but got through my first few web conferences without any problems. (The Webex interface is really simple and intuitive.) What this book did was empower me with the knowledge of how to run really effective meetings online. Yes, it covers the basics well, but the real value was in learning all the additional capabilities Webex has available. For example, I learned about the integrated audio conferencing controls, the simple integration with outlook and some awesome video conferencing capabilities. As with all the Dummies book, its a quick read (gotta love the big font size and pictures). I recommend this book to anyone who has purchsed Webex or is is close to a web conferencing purchase.

Awesome quick reference

I have been using webex for training my students online, but always used only basic functionalites. I always thought myself as smart enough for what I need to do online. One of my friend was reading it and I just skimmed through. Found interesting and bought a copy. Trust me..."Reading this dummies book will make you an expert in webex".

Very Informative

I've used WebEx at my company for 2 years. My wife bought me this book even though I thought I didn't need it. It's awesome. It's a quick read, and taught me several ways my company and I could use WebEx that I didn't even think of. I just bought copies for my whole project team, our director of Support, IT and Training.
