When Android users try to scan a QR code to pair with a hot desk, Webex app won't open. To make things easier, we've added a 'Scan QR code' option directly in the app profile settings, so users can pair with hot desks seamlessly.

If you can't see this feature reach out to your organization administrator to enable it.

Administrators using a mobile device management (MDM) service, can also configure the feature on managed devices.

Low Carbon Mode in Webex App, enables you to reduce your energy consumption when relying on high-carbon energy sources. Webex App receives a forecast of the carbon emissions on your local energy grid. In response, the app operates normally with low carbon sources like solar or wind, but when it's running on higher carbon sources such as natural gas or coal, it will postpone or scale back on energy intensive activities to cut down on carbon emissions.

In earlier releases, if you had a newer version of the Webex App VDI plugin, VDI optimization might not work. But now, we’ve made things more flexible. If your Webex App VDI plugin version is newer than your app version, the VDI plugin automatically downgrades to match the app's version requirements. Plus, multiple versions of the Webex App VDI plugin are kept for future use.

We've introduced enhanced protocol support for newly provisioned Webex sites.

To make it easier for mobile users to view pinned messages on a smaller screen, we will prioritize showing the message content, or the file name.

On large-screen devices like iPads and tablets, you'll see the message content, followed by the sender's name, date, and the time.

When a pinned message is no longer available, due to your organization retention policy, it will be removed.

Sometimes you want to send a message, but the timing isn't quite right. Too early, too late, or maybe it’s better to send it a few days from now. With the send later option, you can plan and organize that your message is sent at your desired time.

Now you can save the whiteboard that you’re sharing as a PDF. Once you've saved it, you've got the perfect format for taking your whiteboard on the go, even without an internet connection.
