Overview

When you need time to focus and don’t want any incoming call notifications to disturb you, now you don’t have to enable Do Not Disturb (DND) on each of your Unified CM Calling registered clients separately.

There’s synchronization of your desk phone on-call status with the Webex App, enabling your coworkers to see your desk phone status on their Webex App.

When you enable it on the Webex App, the state synchronizes automatically to your desk phone. Similarly, when you enable it on your desk phone, the state synchronizes automatically to your Webex apps.

Pre-Requisite

  • Configure Phone Presence applications On-Premises.

  • Sync up Unified CM with Control Hub UI.

  • Map Unified CM to Webex Common Identity (CI).

  • Subscribe to Cloud-Connected UC, and Connect the On-Prem devices to Cloud-Connected UC.

    If you have not subscribed to CCUC, see Set Up Webex Cloud-Connected UC for On-Premises Devices.

On a Call

With this feature, there is synchronization of your desk phone On a Call status with the Webex App.

  • When you are on an active call on your Cisco phone, the presence status on the Webex App changes to On a Call.

  • Similarly, when the call disconnects, the status on the Webex App changes back to available.

There are certain presence statuses that have higher priority compared to On a call. These states are Do Not Disturb, Out of Office, Presenting and In a Meeting. When your presence status is one of the above in your Webex App, on-hook or off-hook activity on Cisco phone does not change your presence status to On a call.
