The Division of Information Technology (IT) is pleased to announce that WebEx, a Colonial Connect service, is now available to all GW faculty and staff. WebEx is a collaborative meeting tool that allows for real-time video meetings and sharing computer content over the web. Features include multi-point video conferencing and desktop share to help facilitate online meetings or teach a class. Sessions can be recorded and can accommodate up to 500 users in one session.

There is no charge for attending a WebEx meeting when you use your computer and a headset or speakers to participate in the audio portion of the meeting. The meeting host will be charged $0.025 per minute, per attendee who use a long distance number to dial in. The meeting host will be charged $0.06 per minute, per attendee who use a toll-free number to dial in.

Faculty, staff, students and guests of the university may all be invited to and attend WebEx meetings on either the faculty and staff domain or the student domain. If you are hosting, simply invite your attendees by email and choose the connection methods you wish to allow (computer only, toll number dial-in or toll-free dial-in) in the WebEx tool. To begin using your WebEx account, login to gwu.webex.com with your GW NetID and corresponding password.
