Hmm, a help page claims support for GNU/Linux.

https://help.webex.com/en-us/nki3xrq/Webex-Meetings-Suite-System-Requirements

----
Linux (Web App) (32-bit/64-bit)

     Ubutuntu 14.x or later

     OpenSuSE 13.x or later

     Fedora 18 or later

     Red Hat 6 or later

     Debian 8.x or later

The following Webex services are available for Linux on the web app:

     Webex Meetings

     Webex Events (attendees)

     Webex Training (attendees)

Known issues and limitations for Linux on the Webex Meetings web app:

     In some versions of Linux, users must proactively install and activate
the “OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.” plugin in order
for the video, call my computer, and content sharing features to work in
Firefox.

     Content sharing does not work in Linux versions that use Wayland as
their display management system (such as Fedora 25 and later), due to an
issue with the WebRTC screen sharing API.

     Sending and receiving video does not work in Fedora 28 due to an issue
with the H.264 codec.

See the Web App Supported Operating Systems and Browsers for more
information on the additional features for Linux that are available in the
Webex Meetings desktop app.

     Ubuntu 12.x and 14.x (Gnome) (all 32-bit)

     Open SuSE 13.1, 13.2 (all 32-bit)

     Fedora 19, 20 32-bit/64-bit

Notes:

     Webex video and Personal Room video are only supported on the Webex
Meetings Web App.

     The following Webex services are available for Linux on the legacy

         Webex Events
