 +====== Cisco WebEx ======
  
 +WebEx is a tool for video conferencing and is offered by Cisco (USA). Since it is a cloud solution, we cannot enforce our own data security policies. Therefore, we typically do not recommend WebEx. However, licenses have been procured for WebEx video conferencing in the current situation.

 +<WRAP center round important>
 +Attention the trial license for WebEx has expired. Therefore please use one of the other solutions we offer. WebEx may be supported again by the GWDG at a later date. The GWDG offers [[en:services:mobile_working:elearning_tools:start|BigBlueButton]] instead, which is also operated by the GWDG itself.
