You'd need a webex account.

After some more playing it seems the issue is when I try to share my 
desktop it doesn't get shared in F20, but does in F19.

That is what's so weird is it works like a champ in F19. I assume there 
is just something missing, maybe something I need to install or some 
permission or configuration setting. I haven't found anything in any log 
files yet to help point to what the problem might be.

When I connect to webex to start a session if I click on Activities I 
see a webex icon of a ball that is half green and half blue and the name 
is "sun-applet-PluginMain" on the activites list. After I click on share 
desktop I see a second icon like that which says Atasjni on the F19, but 
still only have the one on F20. So, it seems some app is having trouble 
getting started when I click to share desktop. So, far I haven't found 
any complaint in any log file though.
