Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Webex Is Down
- 1
Check status.webex.com first
Webex's official status page breaks down issues by service component — meetings, calling, messaging, and more.
- 2
Use the Webex desktop app instead of browser
The native Webex desktop app often provides more reliable performance than browser-based meeting access.
- 3
Check your network connectivity
Webex requires specific ports (443, 5004, 9000). If you're on a corporate network, check with IT if firewall rules may be blocking Webex.
- 4
Try the Webex meeting number
If joining via link fails, use the 9-digit meeting number and host's personal room URL in the Webex app directly.
- 5
Dial in via phone as a backup
Every Webex meeting has a dial-in phone number. Use this for audio-only participation if the app or web version fails.
