- Use Cisco Webex from any web browser when you’re in transit Cisco Webex Teams is compatible with Cisco’s TelePresence room and desk devices. Webex companion mode will see the Webex Board automatically pair with TelePresence equipment, acting as an extension of the TelePresence system to deliver an even better meeting experience.
- Since the Web-Interface does work, we may consider your Webex-Account as 'OK'. Next guess: perhaps the local Client-Application is broken. Since all data (Chat-History, Content, Teams, Spaces etc.) is stored in the Cisco-Cloud I do not see much risk in un-installing and re-installing the Client-Application.

Cisco Webex Meetings and Webex Teams
Webex Meetings is a cloud-based app that provides video conferencing & online meetings.
Webex has transformed our business by allowing our team the option to work remotely and not miss out on their personal life or that important sales meeting. Webex is a one stop shop for meetings. Doesn't matter if you just want to jump on a quick audio conference call, or a full-fledged video conference with 20 offices.
Webex Teams is a cloud-based app for continuous teamwork with videoconferencing, meetings, group messaging, file sharing and white boarding.

The 60,000-foot view of Webex Teams
When a user signs in to Webex Teams they create a “Team”. Team members can be anyone with an email address, from on campus or off. Examples might include all the members of a research project or the students in a particular course.
Once the “Team” is together you need to create a “Space” to work in. This is where you access the available tools, i.e. videoconferencing, messaging, file sharing and whiteboarding. The system comes with a “General Space” to start, and you may never need another. However, Webex Teams provides the ability to create as many other spaces as you want.
Using the example of a “Team” with the students in a course, each “Space” you create could be a class, this way you track each class by itself. Or you could create one “Space” for course work, one for lab’s and maybe another for special project(s).
The big take way here is that any of the tools used, less videoconferencing, are automatically tracked. So, the notes taken during a Meeting, any Whiteboards worked on, any Files Shared, or Messages sent, are embedded in the “Space” you created.
Come back 3 weeks or 3 years later, and it’s all still there.
Special note about videoconferencing, it’s not automatically tracked, but you can record any session by pressing the “Record” button.

The Webex Meetings desktop app allows you to start and join meetings quickly from your meetings list within the app without going to your calendar or Webex site. It also allows you to add a Webex meeting directly in Microsoft Outlook. The Windows version also supports integrations with other applications, such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Microsoft Skype for Business, Microsoft Lync, Internet Explorer, IBM Lotus Notes, and so on. The Webex Meetings desktop app can also automatically detect nearby video devices, so you can share the desktop on a video device or automatically call it when joining a meeting.
*note - the desktop application provides limited functionality but is great for spur of the moment meetings/conferences
