System Requirements for WebEx

Supported Operating Systems

Windows

  • Windows 7 32-bit/64-bit
  • Windows 8 32-bit/64-bit
  • Windows 8.1 32-bit/64-bit
  • Windows Server 2008 64-bit
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB

Notes:

  • Windows OS support on Microsoft Surface Pro is supported.
  • Each Webex Meetings monthly release is tested and certified against the current preview of monthly rollup and all semi-annual Windows 10 releases.
  • Webex Meetings supports Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016 with limitation that, for Webex meetings, Productivity Tools, and the desktop application, if a user doesn’t have administrator privileges, then an administrator is required to install the Webex Meetings applications and Productivity Tools.

Mac OS X

  • 13
  • 14
  • 15

Notes:

  • FedRAMP-compliant Webex Meetings sites require Mac OS 10.13 or later.
  • Starting with Mac OS X 10.7, Apple no longer offers Java as part of the Mac operating system. Since Webex Meetings previously relied on the Java browser plugin to download the meeting application for first-time users, users without Java installed found it difficult to join a meeting. The dependency on Java was removed. Instead, the user is asked to install a small plugin that, once installed, handles the rest of the meeting application installation and then starts the meeting.
  Webex Support is an exception, and is still dependent on Java. Mac users can still download and install Java to use Webex Support.
  • When you start or join an event using Webex Events for the first time on Safari 6.X and Safari 7, a problem occurs. After you have installed Webex, Safari requires you to trust the plugin for the site you are attempting to join or start the event from. The page will refresh after that, but you will not join the event. In order to join, go back to the link you originally selected and you will be able to join successfully.
