New Webex Webinar scheduling and Webex Events recordings

Improvements

Webinar and webcast experience

• Use Webex Webinars to schedule webinars starting April 1st, 2023
  Beginning April 1, 2023, users can no longer use Webex Events (classic) to schedule webinars, they must use Webex Webinars instead.

• Webex Events (classic) recordings are retained in Webinars even after the migration to Webinars
  Webex Events (classic) recordings are synced to the new view of recordings in Webinars after Webex Events (classic) is no longer available. The content of these recordings doesn’t change, however, the look and feel is upgraded to include some of the brand-new features that Webinars has to offer.

• Allow only one join per email for Webinars
  Attendees can join a webinar once using one email address. This prevents uninvited attendees from using an email address that has been approved or invited to join the webinar.

• Webinars now supports multiple polls at a time Attendance, registration, and survey data all in one report
  Webinar hosts and cohosts can now launch multiple polls during their webinar.

• Webinar presenters can share an MP4 file during the webinar
  Webinar presenters can open and share an MP4 file to attendees during the webinar. This is an alternative way to share a video.

• Host and cohost to have same privileges on webinar report page
  To empower collaboration, cohosts can now access and download the same reports as the host from the webinar report page. Both hosts and cohosts can see the same tabs on the reporting page including attendance, registration (if required), survey (if any), activity (if any), recordings, and insights.

• Webex streaming hosts and panelists can list, search, and expel attendees
  Webcast hosts, panelists, and cohosts can now view the attendee list in webcast view, search for attendees through that list, and expel attendees from the webinar in webcast view using the list.

Administration experience

• Audio Watermarking
  A new Audio Watermarking option is available when scheduling meetings based on the type of Webex Meetings Pro-End to EndEncryption_VOIPonly. When enabled, the meeting audio includes a unique identifier for each participant. The site administrator can upload audio recordings to Control Hub to identify the source that was recorded based on the presence of a unique audio watermark identifier.
