Mute Indicator

Ever had a moment in a meeting where you were talking, but didn't realize you were muted? We've all been there, which is why we added a mute indicator. This indicator helps you determine if participants had audio quality issues, or just forgot to click that mute button.


 

The mute indicator only shows for participants who mute themselves through the Webex Meetings desktop and mobile app, the Webex Teams desktop and mobile app, and cloud-registered room devices. If a participant was muted through an external hardware, like a microphone, then the mute indicator doesn't show.

Meeting End Indicator

We added an indicator that lets you know when a participant left a meeting on purpose or unexpectedly. When monitoring meetings, you can use this information to help troubleshoot problems if you notice that lots of participants are dropping from meetings unexpectedly.


 

The meeting end indicator only shows for participants who use VoIP to join meetings with the Webex Meetings app, the Webex Teams app, or a video system.

Memory Usage for Participants

Active Devices Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for Devices Analytics

We've replaced the Online Devices KPI on top of the Devices Analytics page with the Active Devices KPI. Don't worry, you can still find out how many online devices there are in the Devices tab. Instead of showing you how many devices were just online, the Active Devices KPI provides a better insight by showing you how many devices were actually used in meetings based on the previous day, with a trending comparison from the past week. You can use this information to see how often devices are being used and see how you can increase adoption for your organization.

Tracking Codes in Webex Meeting Report

Tracking codes are now included in the Webex Meeting report in Analytics. Tracking codes help you analyze usage by different groups within an organization—for example, by department or division. Now that you can track these tracking codes in the report, you can use the data to help with adoption insights for cost accounting or other internal billing processes across different groups.

Teams Bots Activity Report

Bots in Webex Teams can improve productivity and help reduce costs, but how can you tell if they really do that? With the new Teams Bots Activity report, you can get metrics for these useful automated helpers, such as how many spaces a bot joined, how many messages a bot sent, how many files a bot shared, and more. These metrics help you see how effective bots are, or if they just want to be your friends.

Teams User Activity Report
