Apps in meetings

Apps approved by Cisco are available in the Apps panel, unless your Webex site administrator disabled them for your organization. To find out more about an app, go to Webex App Hub, select the app, and then click Learn more.

All participants can see the Apps panel. Select Open for all to share the app with all participants on the stage.

As the host, if you don’t want participants to see the Apps panel, disable the panel when you schedule the meeting by preventing participants from sharing in your meeting. To disable the panel during a scheduled meeting, go to the Participant menu, and uncheck Anyone Can Share.


 
Only the host can see the Apps panel if they disable it. For cohosts to see it, the host must make the cohost the host.
