Free Webex Soundboard

Sound effects for Webex meetings, played through your mic from the Webex web app in Chrome. Free, no sign-up.

Soundboard: play sounds into your mic

Your browser will ask for microphone access when you click.

Set it up in Webex

  1. Get the sounds ready

    On the Facecam soundboard, load the starter sounds or your own files and press Use these sounds in calls. Set each pad's volume now; it's harder mid-meeting.

  2. Join from your browser

    Open the invite, select Join meeting, then Join from your browser. Enter a name and choose Join as a guest if you have no Webex account.

  3. Choose the microphone in the preview

    In the preview window open Audio options, keep Computer audio, and pick “Facecam Virtual Mic” as the microphone. Test plays it back to you.

  4. Switch off Noise removal

    Click the arrow by Audio options → Settings → Webex smart audio and turn Noise removal off. With it on, Webex filters out anything that isn't a voice.

  5. Join and play

    Select Join meeting. Play sounds from the Facecam popup (More → Soundboard) or with your Chrome shortcut keys.

Webex smart audio and sound effects

Smart audio options as Webex's help describes them.
OptionWhat Webex doesSound effects
Noise removalRemoves background noise; on by default in ChromeMostly removed
Optimize for my voiceAlso removes other people's speech near youRemoved
Music modeOthers hear the original sound when you play or singKept, where the option is offered
All offSends the mic as it isKept

Webex's help page lists these options without saying which ones the web app has. Noise removal is the one it documents for browsers, so that's the switch to check first.

More about Webex

Good manners in a Webex

Webex is mostly used for work and webinars. One well-timed applause lands; a soundboard running through a client call doesn't. Ask the host first, and keep your hand near Esc on the soundboard page, which stops every sound at once.

Questions

Does Webex have its own soundboard?

No soundboard appears in Webex's meeting help. Sounds have to arrive through your microphone, which is how Facecam does it.

Do I need a Webex account?

No. Join as a guest from your browser. Facecam's soundboard needs no account either.

Will it work in a Webex webinar?

Only if you're allowed to unmute. Attendees who can't speak can't play sounds, because the sounds are your microphone.
