Webex Retirement

On July 15, 2020, Information Technology Services (ITS) announced the retirement of Cisco Webex service offerings at Mason to provide a more streamlined set of services to the community. Due to Webex's retirement, we strongly encourage Mason faculty, staff, and students to utilize alternative collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Blackboard Collaborate. See Webex Retirement Roadmap for details.
