using COM port with Matlab online

I am trying to send some data via the com port using Arduino and trying to read them using Matlab. I do not have Matlab installed with me and hence I am using the Matlab online. Now everytime I try to read the COM port I get errors stating that the COM port is not available.

Error using serial/fopen (line 72)
Open failed: Port: COM1 is not available. No ports are available.

Can't I access the COM port using Matlab online? Is there any other way to get this working?
