Even though there isn’t a dedicated Webex desktop app specifically for Chromebooks, you can still easily use Cisco Webex on your device. Let’s explore the different ways you can do this.

Method 1: Using the Webex App from Play Store

If your Chromebook supports Android apps, the most straightforward method is to grab the Webex app directly from the Google Play Store. This gives you a full app experience.

  1. First, you’ll need to confirm if your Chromebook is compatible with Android apps. If you’re not sure, check out this list.

  2. Open the Google Play Store on your Chromebook. It should be in your app launcher.

  3. Tap the search bar at the top, type “Cisco Webex” and hit Enter.

  4. Find the Cisco Webex app in the search results, and click the “Install” button to get it on your Chromebook.

Method 2: Using the Webex Web app

Another easy way to use Webex on your Chromebook is through your browser using the Web app, no download required.

  1. Fire up your favorite browser on your Chromebook and go to webex.com. You’ll land on the Cisco Webex homepage.

  2. Click “Sign In” at the top right. From the dropdown, select “Webex Meetings” to use the web app.

  1. Type in your login details to sign into your Webex account. If you’re new to Webex, you can easily sign up for a free account.

If you only need to join a meeting and don’t have an account, that’s okay too, you can do that from a meeting link.

  1. Click the meeting link you were given. On the meeting webpage, just click “Join from your browser” to join the meeting directly from your browser.
