Connect Automatically to a Cisco Webex Board
When you are close to a Cisco Webex Board, it automatically connects with your Cisco Webex app and greets you. If the board is in sleep mode when you enter the room, it wakes up when it detects your presence.
When you are connected to a board, you can:
Present wirelessly to the board.
Use the board for calls with your app as remote control.
Open a space on the board.

You can see if the app is connected, when the board's name shows up on your space list. On the desktop app, they are on the bottom of your space list. On your mobile app, the board shows up on the top of the list.
The device uses ultrasound to discover Webex Boards which works on most devices. Ultrasound can't go through walls, so it only works if you're physically in the same room as the board.

If you have enabled connectivity in your app, and the board still doesn't connect, you can find a board manually. See further down in this article on how to do that.
