Getting Started
This guide is an introduction to Webex and how to get started using it in your class. To understand how Webex differs from Webex Meetings, we've created this 5 minute overview video.
This lab provides an introduction to Webex Teams's extensibility. During this introduction to the Webex Teams REST API, you will use the interactive documentation to experience Webex Teams programmability. The lab will then go through a few use-cases, and drill into the fundamentals of Webex Teams Apps.
