I have confirmed that that's the same extension as I get at the site you have suggested.

Yesterday I did play more with the Webex settings and connected to a meeting with good audio and video reception. I did not have a chance to test a microphone. It seemed that I got no incoming sound unless I chose "Allow Microphone". Furthermore, whether I received sound depended on whether I chose Mute or Unmute for my (non-existent) microphone. I forget which position allowed incoming sound. I was surprised that it mattered. I got what I needed yesterday, given that I didn't want to speak anyway. I'm grateful for all the help here. Now I need to read up on how to initiate a Webex conference (maybe from my wife's Windows box) so that I can do testing whenever I want. And I need to locate a working microphone. Thanks again. ________________________________________ From: to...@tuxteam.de Sent: Friday, April 10, 2020 4:33 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: using Webex from Stretch On Fri, Apr 10, 2020 at 07:55:25AM -0000, Curt wrote: > On 2020-04-06, Kleene, Steven (kleenesj) <kleen...@ucmail.uc.edu> wrote: > > My employer is now having lots of audio/video conferences, some of which I > > should at least listen to.
