Webex Calling allows you to call anyone and call other people within your organisation on their work number or mobile. Your call history is saved to your Webex application and it provides access to your voicemail.
You can make a call:
When you receive a call, a pop-up will appear on the bottom right corner of your screen.
Click Answer to answer the call or click Decline to decline the call and send the caller to your voicemail.
NOTE: When you answer a call, your video will be on by default. See below FAQ on how to turn this off.

Or for step by step instructions (including screenshots) see the transfer a call page.
Call Pickup allows you to answer another user’s ringing extension.
NOTE: You will only be aware of another user's incoming calls if you can hear the sound from their PC. Webex does not indicate incoming calls to a Pickup group any other way.
To answer a call ringing on an extension number other than your own:
Clicking on the top right X doesn't close the application, but simply minimises it and the process continues to run in the background.

UniSA is transitioning extension in stages - Unit by Unit. This means that some extension are still in the NEC system and others are in Webex.
While both systems are running, if an NEC phone is used to call an extension (5 digits e.g. 25000), which has already been transitioned to Webex, the backend diverts the call externally to the full 8 digits (83025000), which then transfers the call to the extension in Webex. It is the process between the diversion and transfer that causes the system to display that you are calling yourself.
Until all extensions are transferred to Webex the only way around this is for the caller to dial the full 8 digits.
