How to See the Full List of Shortcuts in Webex
Inside a meeting (desktop app), you can open the full shortcuts list by going to Help → Keyboard Shortcuts (or press Ctrl + / on Windows) to see everything available. (Momentum)
You can also customize or enable global shortcuts so they work even when Webex isn’t focused. (Webex Help Center)
A Few Notes
Shortcuts may vary depending on your operating system (Windows vs. macOS).
If you’re using Webex via a browser (web-app rather than desktop app), some shortcuts may not work. The desktop app supports the most complete keyboard navigation. (Webex Help Center)
For accessibility (screen readers, keyboard navigation), the shortcuts help navigate panels, chat, participants list, and shared content effectively. (Webex Help Center)
If you like — I can build a full printable cheat-sheet of 20–30 Webex shortcuts (Windows and Mac) that you could embed in your Project Development Portal for your clients and team to download. Would you like me to put that together now?
