Webex is another web conferencing software that allows users to meet virtually, similar to GSU Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.

Starting April 1, 2025, Webex will no longer be part of the video conferencing platform option at GovState. ITS will solely support the Microsoft Teams Video conferencing platform. Teams video conferencing includes integration with Outlook and Outlook.com.

Microsoft Teams tutorials will be available soon. ITS will offer training for Team Meetings every month. Be on the lookout for ITS Training Announcements, including Teams Meeting Training sessions.

ITS has made Webex available for non-instructional use. More information regarding Webex Non-Instructional use, can be access from the ITS Webex Meetings portal tutorials. Webex is integrated within a Blackboard course, but will have limited functionality. For more functionality, please visit the GSU Webex portal.
