Multiple new features and additional functions

Improvements

Improved toolbar for shared content

• Easier interacting with shared content by moving the tools (from a fade-out sidebar) into a dedicated toolbar above the stage so the users can access it any time

Move Webex Meetings from your desktop to mobile app using a QR code

• Move Meeting to Mobile feature is introduced where users can scan the QR code using their mobile camera and move their meeting to Webex Meetings mobile app without disrupting or disconnecting the meeting

Picture-in-Picture support for Webex Meetings iPhone users

• Similar to the iPad, iPhone users can use the iOS picture-in-picture (PiP) feature. With direct PiP support, users can now multitask with other apps on their iPhones while watching the meeting window or shared content.

Redirect attendee to a URL address after a meeting or webinar

• The host can enter a URL address when they set up the meeting or webinar. Attendees can now be forwarded to a landing page after a meeting or webinar ends

New option for high fidelity content sharing

• Optimize for 3D is a new sharing optimization that is available to customers upon request to your Customer Success Manager. This feature uses additional bandwidth to reduce color artifacts when sharing high-fidelity 3D models. The increased quality can aid in real-time collaboration for other types of content including Computer-Aided Design and Medical Imaging.

In-meeting experience

Ability to share application windows instead of the whole desktop

• This feature optimizes the Webex Meetings content sharing experience while sharing an application. Previously, when the user shared applications it would share the entire screen and mask areas outside of the application window. With this update, the receiving user sees the individual windows of the shared application and not the entire masked desktop screen.

A new Share tab added to Meeting Settings

• In this update, a new Share tab to the Meeting Settings dialog is added. This is the new location for all relevant share-based preferences.

Web App: Send 1080p Video to the Chrome, Firefox, and Edge Browsers

• Users joining from the Webex Meetings web app from the Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers can now send up to 1080p video in meetings and webinars.

Administration experience

Collaboration restrictions for your company users joining meetings from a Chrome browser

• IT administrators can apply all e-compliance controls using templates in Control Hub at the user, group, and org level for joining meetings from the Chrome browser.

The administrator can search and delete the obsolete meetings on Control Hub

• A host may schedule meetings but for some reason, can’ t delete the meetings by themselves. For example, if the host leaves the company, then the administrator should have the ability to find the meetings and delete them

Redirect attendee to a URL address after a meeting or webinar

• As site administrators, for security reasons, make sure that you provide a list of domains so that the users can save the URLs containing the domains. Without the approved domains, the users won't be able to save any URL due to security considerations

Webex Meetings Integrations

Support for scheduling meetings for on-premises hybrid exchange

• If your Microsoft Teams account uses hybrid Microsoft Exchange, you can now schedule meetings from the Webex tab, a private chat with the Webex bot, or from the messaging extension.

Remove bot installation from 1:1 conversation

• Schedule meetings from the Webex messaging extension in channels, group chats, or private chats without having to install the Webex bot. When you schedule a meeting, the meeting information appears in the conversation or chat message for others to join from.

Webex for Government updates

Meetings Quality APIs

• Meetings Qualities API allows an administrator to pull detailed quality and troubleshooting information about a meeting (both recently occurred and currently occurring). This powerful API allows customers to create their own supportability tools and integration for their organization.
