Cohosts can record meetings in the cloud—Windows, Mac, Linux, VDI, iPhone, iPad, and Android
We’re excited to announce that we’re allowing cohosts to record a meeting in the cloud. This makes it easy to record a meeting if the host isn’t available or is busy during the meeting.
Cohosts have the same capabilities that a host has. They can start, stop, or pause the recording. After the meeting ends, the host still owns the recording. The recording is shared automatically with the cohosts within the organization.
If you prefer, your Webex administrator can also allow meeting participants to record meetings in the cloud.
Annotate on shared content—Windows and Mac
If you want to highlight or point out something that you’re sharing, draw right on the screen or application window. Use the pen or disappearing ink, which fades away after a few seconds.
Optionally, allow other participants to annotate on the shared content too.
Run two instances of your app side-by-side—iPad
Take advantage of your iPad's ability to multitask so you can focus on specific meeting content. Split shared content, the participants panel, or the chat panel into its own window on your iPad screen so you don't miss anything. If you attached a monitor to your iPad, move the second window to its own screen to give yourself more room to see what's going on. For select iPad models, use the iPad's Stage Manager for easier multitasking.
Play a notification sound when someone’s waiting in the lobby—VDI
If you lock your meeting, sometimes it’s difficult to notice when someone’s waiting in the lobby to join.
Hosts and cohosts can now choose to the app play a sound on their computer when someone enters the lobby.
You only hear the sound when you're the host or cohost. The sound only plays once every 10 seconds, regardless of how many users have entered the lobby.
See Webex App | Play a notification sound when someone is waiting in the lobby
Hide the participant video and meeting control panel when you’re sharing content—VDI
In a meeting, if you prefer to see only the content that you’re sharing, you can now hide the floating panel that contains participant videos and the meeting controls.
In earlier releases, you had the option to collapse the panel but now you can hide it completely if you prefer if you prefer the panel to be out of your way.
To show the panel again, press Ctrl + Alt + P (Windows) or Shift + ⌥ + P (Mac).
Fit your camera video in self view—VDI
In earlier releases, if your camera video used a 4:3 aspect ratio, Webex cropped your self view to a 16:9 aspect ratio to fit the frame. With our new Zoom to fit setting, we preserve your full camera video. Preview what your self-view video looks like in .
If you prefer to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio, uncheck this setting.
Features available only on our Video Mesh-ready meeting platform
The following additional features are available only on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform. Find out if your meetings are running on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform.
Allow participants to hear the meeting in their preferred language with simultaneous interpretation—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android
As a host or cohost, use simultaneous interpretation to create language channels, invite interpreters, and assign them to languages. Interpreters select the source language for interpretation, change the interpretation direction, and hand off interpretation to the next interpreter. With our enhanced work flow, inactive interpreters can request that the active interpreter hand off interpretation to them, otherwise they go in the order that the host set.
This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.
See Simultaneous interpretation in Webex meetings, webinars, and Personal Rooms
Automatically hear the original meeting audio when it’s in your language with simultaneous interpretation—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android
When the original audio is in the same language as the interpretation channel that you subscribe to, and the interpreter stops speaking in that channel, you automatically hear 100 percent original audio (floor audio) after a few seconds.
When the interpreter starts speaking in that channel again, you hear the volume balance of interpreter/original audio according to what’s set. You can change it according to your preference.
This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.
See Select your preferred language audio channel in Webex meetings and webinars
Start a Slido poll during a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android
With Slido, you can easily engage with other participants and the host. Open Slido from Apps or More options from the meeting controls. By default, Slido is available for hosts and cohosts, who can turn it on for attendees in meeting options.
This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.
Move your meeting to a new device—VDI
Seamlessly move a meeting from one desktop or mobile device to another without disrupting or disconnecting from the meeting. For example, if you commute to work and join a meeting on your mobile device, move the meeting to your laptop when you get to the office. Or, if you need to step away from your computer during a meeting, move the meeting to your mobile device.
By default, the meeting moves to the new device, and you leave the meeting on the previous device. If you prefer, change your meeting preference to keep both devices in the meeting.
This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.

Improvements to pinned messages—iOS and Android
