We suggest you test your WebEx installation by going to this site:  https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html#

This is simply a test meeting.  You log on with any name and email (which won't be used).  You then enter a sample meeting.  
If you receive any errors or cannot get into the test meeting, please try another browser.

Yeah! You are done and ready to use WebEx for the next live DA conference call.
