RHUB has solved joining meetings via any browser that support either Flash or Javascript. You can attend their meetings in Linux using Firefox, on an iPhone or iPad using Safari, on Windows Mobile using Skyfire. For remote controlling, you can install their lightweight TurboMeeting client. Up to 10 “supporters” can control a PC at a time.

Here you go, this is my little project for running a VNC version of webex from your home server. At the moment I have only packaged the software for windows but it will be available for ubuntu and osx soon.

The hint to “Firefox User Agent Switcher and tell Firefox to announce itself as Netscape 4.8″ helped me with my problems with Firefox and Webex, after i got the error message “You are no longer connected to the meeting. Automatically reconnecting…”
I got this problem for IE8 too, where i could solve it by installing the “Meeting Center application for Internet Explorer in Windows” manually from the webex/support/downloads section.

So thank you :)

Not only is it often functionally inferior, it is also untrustworthy. Nobody knows what they’re doing with the data on their hub, but they’re certainly sucking up everybody’s data — including video!

I have big trouble trying to use FIREFOX joining a WEBEX conference. Added to that is my LAPTOP is running VISTA. Yikes! Any help can be offered? It always crashes when VOIP is introduced. Any similar experiences to validate my misfortune?

As far as I know the tray icon in RealVNC can no longer be disabled except by deep hacking.
