Download the Webex Teams App

If someone invited you to Webex Teams, you should have received a welcome email with instructions.

Otherwise, you can download the app and set up an account on your own.

The Webex Teams app is simple. You'll see navigation on the left, then search, filters, and spaces, and activities on the right.

Read and Send Messages

Get started right away in Webex Teams by reading and sending messages to people directly or to everyone on your team or class.

Read new messages—just look for the bolded space name and click one to read a message.

After you read the message, the space name turns light grey in your Spaces list, letting you know that you're now up-to-date in that space.

Send a message—You can send a message directly to just one person or to several people.

To send a message to a person, click and choose Contact a Person, enter their name or email address and press Enter.
