## Download Webex Meetings <a href="#download-webex-meetings" id="download-webex-meetings"></a>

Desktop version (Mac or PC) - <https://www.webex.com/downloads.html>

You can also download the phone app from your handset's app store.

## Find a quiet, comfortable place to work <a href="#find-a-quiet-comfortable-place-to-work" id="find-a-quiet-comfortable-place-to-work"></a>

Background noise can be distracting to other participants.

## Grab some headphones to reduce distractions and feedback  <a href="#grab-some-headphones-to-reduce-distractions-and-feedback" id="grab-some-headphones-to-reduce-distractions-and-feedback"></a>

Headphones are good. They will let you hear other speakers without your mic picking up the sound. Headsets (like apple earbuds) with a mic are even better!

## Turn on your webcam, and mute your mic when you're not talking <a href="#turn-on-your-webcam-and-mute-your-mic-when-youre-not-talking" id="turn-on-your-webcam-and-mute-your-mic-when-youre-not-talking"></a>
