With Fluxresource.com Chrome web extension, your Webex experience will be just as seamless as you want it to be.
You don’t have to split your browser or open a million tabs anymore. Just install our extension, get the Webex app on your phone (or use the Webex website), and you’ll never have to deal with a clunky interface again.
It’s like this: You send an email, and someone replies—but they want to call you instead. So they start a meeting, which shows up as a notification on your phone that you can just click in order to join. No more waiting for the invite link! It’s also still there on your computer, so if you need to do something else before joining the meeting, you can click that notification later whenever it works best for you.
It’s just that easy!
You can quickly and easily access all of Webex’s features right from one convenient place: our Chrome web extension. It’s a simple little button that adds some powerful functionality to what was already a great platform.

what does cisco webex extension do
Browser extensions allow developers to add modules that extend access to browser data for delivering the best app experiences. Webex extensions for Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari allow users to launch the Webex Meetings desktop app when they visit a Webex site to start or join a meeting.
An extension’s access to browser data is limited by how granular the browser platform permissions are. Given that browsers can’t limit permissions to extensions today, when an extension needs access to browsing data, the browser instead shows a default severe warning to users to confirm that they trust the extension that they’re installing.
For example, third-party extension installation instructions from Safari (given here) show that a severe warning will appear when installing any extension that needs to connect to the page. While malicious extensions can take advantage of the broadened access, extensions from trusted sources are there to safely enhance the user experience.
Cisco is a leading security company and committed to the protection of our customers’ and partners’ data. Cisco is also committed to building trust by continuous transparency with customers and partners. Read more about our trust, transparency, and accountability here.
The Webex extension is only loaded and brought to action by the browser when the browser detects a specially crafted string in the page being loaded. The extension never reads any data from the page being loaded; it’s used by the page to launch the desktop app.
Browsers will load the Webex extension when a user accesses a page on *.webex.com domains to allow users to start or join meetings.
The source code of the browser extension is deployed on users’ machines, and a technically savvy user can validate the extent of the extension’s activities. Most endpoint security companies and software online reputation companies also watch out for unsafe extensions and notify the community and the end users.
Note that Cisco Webex fully discloses its data collection and privacy policies here.
To summarize:
- Browser extensions can’t request limited permissions for browsing data due to limitations in browsers. Browsers show severe default warnings to ensure that users are aware of what an extension can do and install extensions from trusted sources.
- JavaScript extension code is installed on the desktop and can be reviewed by tech savvy users and security products.
- Cisco Webex is a leading security company trusted by millions of users and is committed to protection of our customers and partners.
- The Webex extension only interacts with Webex Meetings pages and doesn’t read the content of any web page.
- Cisco has a published data collection and privacy statement.
