Creating a personalized Webex room is an excellent method for customizing and improving your virtual meetings. In this article, I will assist you in establishing your personal room and offer suggestions for adding individualized elements to make it uniquely yours.
Step 1: Logging in to Webex
The first step is to log in to your Webex account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up for one on the Webex website. Once you have logged in, you will be directed to the main dashboard.
Step 2: Accessing your Personal Room
To access your personal room, click on the “Meetings” tab at the top of the dashboard. In the drop-down menu, you will see an option for “Personal Room”. Click on it, and you will be taken to your personal room settings page.
Step 3: Customizing your Personal Room
Now it’s time to add your personal touches and make your room feel more like your own. Start by choosing a custom background image for your room. You can either upload your own image or choose one from the Webex gallery. A background image can help set the mood and make the room visually appealing.
Next, you can customize the layout of your room. You can choose whether you want to display your video feed, participants’ video feeds, or both. You can also choose the layout of the chat window, the participant list, and other elements of the room interface.
Another way to add a personal touch is by setting a custom greeting message that will be displayed to participants when they enter your room. You can use this message to welcome and provide any necessary instructions or reminders.
Step 4: Scheduling and Sharing your Personal Room
Once you have customized your personal room, you can start scheduling meetings and sharing the room link with others. To schedule a meeting, click on the “Schedule a meeting” button on your personal room settings page. Fill in the details such as the date, time, and duration of the meeting, and select your personal room as the meeting location. After saving the meeting, you will receive a meeting link that you can share with participants.
To share your personal room link, you can simply copy it from the address bar and send it via email, chat, or any other communication platform you prefer. You can also generate a QR code that participants can scan to join your room directly from their mobile devices.
Personalizing your room: My Experience
I recently set up my personal room in Webex, and I must say it has made a significant difference in my online meetings. I chose a background image of a peaceful beach scene, which instantly created a calming atmosphere. I also personalized the layout to have my video feed and participants’ video feeds side by side, giving everyone equal visibility.
I decided to set a custom greeting message to make participants feel welcome and provide some basic meeting etiquette guidelines. It has proven to be a helpful way to set expectations and ensure a smoother meeting experience.
Sharing my personal room link has also been convenient. Whenever I need to hold a meeting, I simply copy the link and send it to participants. The QR code option has come in handy for participants joining from their mobile devices, as they can quickly scan the code and join the room without typing in the URL manually.
Conclusion
Setting up a personal room in Webex allows you to bring your personal touch to online meetings. By customizing the background, layout, and greeting message, you can create a unique and welcoming environment for your participants. Scheduling and sharing your personal room link is also a breeze, making it easy for participants to join your meetings. So why wait?
