Colleagues have scheduled an important presentation on webex with> 20 participants for tomorrow.

Requirements

I get a message that my browser is not supported when I try the webex test meeting. There seems to be 2 lists of requirements:

32 bits Install instructions only

The only instructions from webex I found are these ones on help.webex.com: How-can-I-Join-a-Meeting-Using-64-bit-Red-Hat-Linux-6. The help page suggests installing the following:

I am very surprised that it still uses flash and so many 32 bits applications. We are in 2020. Is there really no other way for me to listen to this webex presentation?

Webex does not officially support 64-bit Linux builds is what WebEx themselves says. A Reddit post agrees with you. However, you very kindly found a superior solution, which I have added to a prior request over at https://askubuntu.com/a/1225076/197910 .

    Thanks. I found [these instructions for 64 bit Ubuntu](https://gist.github.com/mshkrebtan/407786e334847544b40e7d6a8a53d247) running over a 32 bit firefox install with Java and flash. – Paul Rougieux Apr 07 '20 at 15:47

    Paul, please turn those into an answer, as I am _very certain_ other folks will need it! TYVM! – K7AAY Apr 07 '20 at 16:32

    that's very kind of you, no need to quote me in that answer on askubuntu. It was just an easy google search away. If you want to credit someone, credit the author of that gist: https://gist.github.com/mshkrebtan (he has a great blog by the way with an impressive linux sound system) – Paul Rougieux Apr 08 '20 at 06:31

[Update 2022]

Native install is not a good idea anymore. Use webex from Firefox or chromium.
