- josefx 9y agoAs far as I know Webex always needed the Oracle JVM and wouldn't run on anything else, so that would have been rather surprising.
- module0000 9y agoFor what it's worth - you can do this with firefox(others may work, but it's my go-to for this process). Short summary of the steps: 1) First try to join a webex, let firefox download and install the webex plugin 2) Look in ~/.webex, you'll see a bunch of 32-bit binaries 3) `ldd` on the 32-bit binaries, and install the 32-bit requirements to satisfy the missing dependencies. 4) Restart firefox, join the webex, you're done. The big issue is that the plugin they download assumes you are using a 32-bit OS, and will fail to load without much in the way of meaningful error messages.
- colordrops 9y agoI'm using a recently released HTML5 version of WebEx on Linux at work now. It does (did?) have a stupid bug though. When you enter your name, you have to click the button to enter the room. If you just hit enter with the keyboard it would still try to load the Java version.
- reza_n 9y agoSame, I just move the meeting to something Linux compatible like Hangouts or GotoMeeting. Also, if not presenting, Webex android/iphone client is also an option.
