To start using the Cisco Call, you need to sign in to your Webex account first.
Open the Webex App, sign in to your Webex account, and then close the app. Once signed in, you're ready to start using the Cisco Call integration in the Microsoft Teams.
Opening the Webex App to sign in is a one-time activity. If the Webex App isn’t visible on your desktop, it's likely that your admin has hidden it to enhance the experience. In this case, you need to search for the Webex App initially to open it.
Go to Microsoft Teams, click Cisco Call
, and then click Continue if you’re using the same Microsoft Teams account for Webex.
If you're using a different account for Webex, then click Use a different account and sign in with your Webex email address and password.
After signing in, you can find all the calling features under Cisco Call
option.
