Webex is a video conferencing tool that enables students to schedule and conduct real-time meetings online. Zoom, a similar alternative to Webex, offers comparable features, and both platforms are supported by Lone Star College. These applications allow students to virtually meet with peers or instructors at scheduled times.

All students have a general Webex and Zoom account managed by the Information Technology Service Desk (IT).
