Connecting To Webex Meetings Via Citrix Webmail


These instructions will help users open UTHealth Webex meetings on their local computer while using the Citrix version of UTHealth webmail. Users cannot properly join Webex meetings within the Citrix environment, but users can copy and paste the meeting links into their local desktop browser and enter the meeting from there.

These instructions may be needed only if you are working at a Harris Health facility where UTHealth webmail’s normal address is being blocked by Harris Health. You should not need these instructions while in other locations.


Before You Begin

Connect to the UTHealth Citrix Portal, load Webmail, and locate the relevant Webex meeting email that you want to open on your local computer.

Step 1: Open The Webex Meeting Email Notification

Inside the UTHealth Citrix Webmail Portal interface, double-click on the Webex Meeting Email notification you received and open it.
