RE: [Manycouches] Webex HELP pls.

Hi Toerless,

I have multiple "accounts" for Webex (company, NMRG, and other roles...)

What works for me is to log in the different webex "urls" : ietf.webex.com, or company.webex.com and don't check the "keep me log in" box.
By entering the correct credentials, then I can access the web dashboard for webex.

When launching meetings from calendar, or webex plug-in (windows), it also offers me the option to log in with a specific account or enter my name. 

HTH a bit.
Laurent.
