Improved local share for devices in MTR mode

Improvements

Improvements when joining Zoom meetings

• In the Join Zoom interface, you will now see a list of selectable Zoom CRC domains under the "Advanced Options" for data center location preferences.
• A new feature has been introduced that automatically detects when you're dialing into a Zoom meeting from xCommand Dial (or from the normal UI Call interface). If a Zoom meeting is detected, Zoom Call Controls will be added to the user interface. Previously, these controls were only available when joining a meeting through the Join Zoom UI. Please note that if you join a meeting via xCommand Dial using a booking ID, the platform specified in the booking will take priority.
• We are now also removing the visual Zoom DTMF menu automatically if we detect a Zoom meeting by adding an option to the dial string. For example, 123456789@zoomcrc.com will become 123456789..504@zoomcrc.com.
• This addition happens automatically and will not cause issues even if the option is already present, as Zoom supports duplicate options.
• This addition of the 504 option disables the Zoom DTMF menu, leaving only our enhanced Zoom Call Controls, ensuring a better user experience.
• If you'd prefer to use the Zoom visual menu instead of our call controls, you can disable this feature by setting xConfiguration Zoom EnhancedCallControls to "disabled." This will disable the Zoom enhanced call controls all together.

Improved local share for devices in MTR mode

This update brings significant quality improvements when previewing your screen in MTR mode on Cisco devices, including:

• 4K screen previews with cable
• Higher resolution Miracast previews
• Support for up to 3 screens and multisource viewing (on multiscreen devices)
• Touch redirect for Windows laptops

Expanded Cisco Table Microphone Pro and AES67 support

• We’ve added support for up to 8 Cisco Table Microphone Pro units for the Cisco Board Pro/G2 (requires the "AV Integrator" Option Key). The Cisco Board Pro/G2 also now supports AES67.
• Additionally, the Cisco Room Bar now supports connecting one (1) Cisco Table Microphone Pro.

Allow Microsoft teams meetings on different tenants through VIMT

• Allow existing VIMT (Video Interoperability Meeting Tenant) customers to seamlessly join Microsoft Teams meetings hosted by external tenants while maintaining the familiar Cloud Video Interop (CVI) experience.
• This ensures that users can continue to leverage their VIMT setup for enhanced video quality and functionality, even when participating in meetings outside their home tenant, delivering consistent and optimized meeting experiences across different organizations.

Extended reach speaker mode

• Get a front-row seat, wherever you are placed in the meeting space.
• Adaptive speaker tracking and intelligent framing by the Cisco Quad Camera and the Cisco PTZ 4K pan-tilt-zoom camera, capture the active speaker and other in-room participants, even in the largest spaces.

Added support for Cinematic meetings (CrossView)

• Cross-view is an AI-driven feature that enhances meetings with a cinematic experience by using two PTZ 4K or Quad cameras, along with a Codec EQ or Pro and Table Microphones Pro. The system analyzes room activity, identifies speakers, and tracks where participants are facing to automatically select the best camera angle. This setup ensures comprehensive coverage of discussions, even across the table, for more inclusive hybrid meetings.
• Please note, connecting more than one Quad Camera to a Codec is only supported for Cross-view. To achieve the best results, it's important to follow the recommended setup guidelines.

Pointing and annotation improvements on live presentations

• This feature allows presenters to live annotate and point directly on their presentations in real-time.
• Previously, a snapshot was taken of the presentation to draw on, but with this update, the presentation continues beneath the drawings.
• Additionally, a new tool, disappearing ink, has been introduced. It stays visible for about 5 seconds, helping presenters highlight key elements without interrupting the flow of the presentation.

Frames improvements

• The updated framing for groups of 2-4 people ensures that participants are no longer displayed in multiple frames.
• For groups of 5-6 participants, the new framing limits the display to two frames, providing a more stable and cohesive viewing experience.

Added support for Hot Spaces (Cisco Webex Board series)

• Introducing hot spacing support for Boards, Board Pros, and Board Pro G2s similar to what we already have for Cisco Desk Series devices in the same deployment model.
• This update brings a new user experience to Boards, enabling hot spacing features that were previously exclusive to Desk series devices (hot desking).
• It allows automatic saving and retrieval of whiteboards to users' accounts, minimizing the need for binding spaces.
• Sign-in will now be triggered via QR code pairing, eliminating the need for USB-C pairing.
• The half wake function will remain the same unless a user is signed in, in which case the Reserved screen will be displayed.
