That's almost certainly an issue to bring up with WebEx. If there is any way
to send feedback or open a ticket with your WebEx account, please do.
Thanks very much! I will see if I can get a way to do so.
I had to stop using the Linux WebEx client because it's so buggy. Instead, I
use WebEx through Firefox on Linux. I am a technical trainer, and I teach
using WebEx, so it's a real bummer. WebEx support has been somewhat helpful,
but they just don't have Linux experts on staff, so they're sort of hobbled.
Try it through your browser. I used to have issues using WebEx via Chrome,
but it's been a long time since I tried. It might have cleared up with newer
versions of Chrome. But Firefox has been very solid, and I am on WebEx 9 or
more hours/day, 3-5 days/week.
I have not had any problems with WebEx on Fedora ever since they released the rpm (and I
came to know of it, which was a good few months after that). It does have fewer features
than the Windoze version, I am told, but I have not had a problem with it, even now.
The client I have had lots of issues with, with regard to audio, is teams but that is
another story.
Well, thanks again!
Best wishes,
Ranjan
