Update

Improved administrator, webinar, and webcast experience

Improvements


In-meeting experience

  • Can change meeting template after a meeting is scheduled - With Webex Scheduler, users can now change their meeting template after they have scheduled a meeting. Previously, the default template was used and users couldn’t change it after the meeting was scheduled.
  • Allow users to turn on or off the floating window when sharing - This enhancement allows users and administrators to hide the floating window with video thumbnails when sharing. While many users find it useful to see reactions from users while sharing, some would rather not show it. This change allows them to do that. To change at the Meeting level, go to Settings > Sharing Content. At the organization level in Control Hub, go to Meetings settings.
  • Dynamically adjust participant video quality - New option added to dynamically adjust participant video quality. With this option enabled, the video resolution of meeting participants is increased to better fill the actual window resolution being used.


Webinar and webcast experience

  • Devices can join webinars as attendees - This update allows attendees to join webinars from a Webex cloud device – perfect for bringing employees together during webinars, such as company All-Hands.
  • New polling activity report that records individual attendee's actions - There is a new polling activity report that records attendees' actions. This provides visibility into who has selected what for each polling question.
  • First name, Last name, and Role added to attendance report - The webinar attendance report now includes three additional columns - First name, Last name, and Role. The First name and Last name columns display the names that the attendees first joined the webinar with. If an attendee’s name is edited during the webinar, the edited name doesn’t appear in the report. Additionally, guest attendee’s First name and Last name aren’t reported. The Role column includes the attendee’s roles at the time the webinar ends.
  • Host knows how many attendees have submitted to a poll - In addition to the number of attendees who have submitted polls, the host also has visibility into how many attendees are actively editing their polls but haven't submitted them yet. The hosts can view the attendee’s editing status for the polls. With this visibility, a host can remind their attendees that they must submit their polls.
  • Simplify VoIP join for attendee in Webinars - Added audio broadcast to Webinars to simplify the join experience for attendees. When a webinar enables VoIP-only (Voice over Internet Protocol) for Audio connection type, attendees joining the event with VoIP are automatically connected and join the webinar directly on desktop (Windows and Mac), mobile (iOS and Android) and the browser app. The attendees don’t need to go through additional confirmation pages before they join.
  • Source ID can be tracked before webinar starts - This feature adds a Source ID column to the Manage Registration page, which captures where registered attendees are coming from.


Slido experience

  • Compliance for audience interaction made easy - Theta Lake seamlessly integrates with your Slido platform to provide AI-based compliance and archiving with automated risk detection and review workflow of shared content. Theta Lake makes it easy to efficiently manage compliance while saving time and resources.


Device enhancements

  • Start a meeting on a device - You can now walk into a room and start an instant meeting on a Webex device. Once you start a meeting, you no longer need to struggle to invite guests to a meeting. In the invite pop-up, you can now invite any guests to a meeting. Scan the QR code, and then you can copy and share the meeting information with anyone.


Webex Meetings for iOS

  • Listen to Webex meeting recording on Apple CarPlay - In addition to joining a Webex meeting from the Apple CarPlay dashboard, you can connect your iPhones to the Apple CarPlay dashboard and listen to audio meeting recordings on the go.


Administration experience

  • Collaboration restrictions for Webex meetings in Control Hub: Support internal meeting settings at the organization level - Currently, for Control Hub's Collaboration restrictions settings, administrators can only manually apply internal meeting settings using the user or group-level settings templates after the user has been created (it doesn’t automatically apply for new users).
  • Abilities for IT administrator to custom select virtual background for cross-org policy - Currently, under Control Hub's Organization Settings, there’s an option to Enforce virtual backgrounds require users to have a virtual background) for all external meetings. When administrators enable this option, all required virtual backgrounds are set to Webex's executive office background, and users can't change it when they start video.
  • Prepopulate sign in screen with current outlook email address - Webex Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook now automatically uses the current Outlook email address as the username when the Webex Scheduler signs into Webex. If the user is configured with SSO in Webex Control Hub, they can automatically be directed to their SSO sign-in page. If SSO isn’t enabled for the user, they are prompted to enter their Webex password.
