Web 2.0 Expo is in full swing up in San Francisco. Satish will be speaking on a couple panels with enterprise and small business focus. While it’s true Zimbra for Service Providers and Zimbra for Education are popular with Zimbra Customers a large number of organizations using Zimbra today run Zimbra for Business. Sam created a Zimlet to make it easier for Zimbra users to use WebEx.
The WebEx Zimlet allows Zimbra users to quickly create new WebEx web conferences. Users can create a meeting manually, multi-select contacts from the address book and drag n drop them on to the Zimlet or drag and drop an existing Zimbra appointment to add a WebEx. In a hurry, don’t remember your WebEx login or password? The WebEx Zimlet will automatically launch WebEx in a new window and start the meeting if you are the host or join the meeting if you are a participant. You only need to enter your WebEx credentials one-time and the Zimlet will do the rest. A short 3min screen cast below will demo the main features in action.

Is this only for hosting meetings, or does it work with other WebEx products like WebEx Remote Support too?

It only supports hosting and joining meetings today, but it’s trivial to extend this to the other products. Please submit feedback into bugzilla or our forums.
