Cisco Webex Meetings Integration with Microsoft Teams

Schedule, start, or join Cisco Webex meetings and invite people to join Webex meetings or Webex Personal Room meetings directly from Microsoft Teams.

Schedule, Start, or Join Cisco Webex Meetings from Microsoft Teams

The Cisco Webex Meetings app can help you invite people to your Webex meeting so people can join easily. All that you need to do is set the Webex site URL for the Webex site that you want your team to use for meetings. You must have a host account on that Webex site to use this app. If your Webex account is enabled for a Personal Room, you can use the app to share a link to a meeting in your Personal Room.

Use the Cisco Webex Meetings app commands in a Microsoft Teams channel to share meeting links to scheduled Webex meetings and Webex Personal Room meetings.

Use the Webex tab to view a list of your upcoming meetings and start, schedule, and join scheduled Webex meetings and Webex Personal Room meetings.

The Cisco Webex Meetings app for Microsoft Teams doesn't support accounts on meetings.webex.com, on meetingsln.webex.com, or on Cisco Webex Meetings Server sites.

The Cisco Webex Meetings app for Microsoft Teams doesn't support on-premises or Hybrid Microsoft Exchange mailboxes. All mailboxes must be cloud-based.

See the following articles for more information about the Webex Meetings integration with Microsoft Teams:

What's New in Cisco Webex Meetings for Microsoft Teams

Stay updated on the latest features for Cisco Webex Meetings for Microsoft Teams.

April 2021 (41.4)

Set a Webex Site for Your Organization

If you're a Microsoft Team administrator, you can now set a default Webex site for your entire organization. This means that all channels within your organization use the org-wide default site if no other site is set.

WBS40.12

See Webex Meetings Scheduled from Microsoft Teams in Webex Meeting Reports

Webex Site administrators can see the Webex meetings scheduled through Microsoft Teams when they generate a Webex Meeting report from Cisco Webex Control Hub. Microsoft Teams appears in the INTEGRATION_USED column of the report for meetings scheduled from Microsoft Teams.

WBS40.9

Send Meeting Reminders from the Webex Tab for Cisco Webex Meetings

Send attendees reminder for Webex meetings and Personal Room meetings that you scheduled using the Webex tab to make it easier for them to attend. A reminder option appears 15 minutes before the start time. When you send the reminder, a notification appears in the channel where you scheduled the meeting. You can start the meeting from the reminder and attendees can join from it.

WBS40.7

Simplified Pop-up Window for the Messaging Extension

We’ve simplified the way you share a link to your Personal Room or a scheduled meeting from the messaging extension. Now, when you select the messaging extension, a pop-up window appears where you can enter the meeting topic and share it to the channel conversation, group chat, or private chat. You no longer need to select your Personal Room or enter a meeting number.

For the best experience, we recommend that you set your Webex site in a chat with the Webex Meetings bot to use the messaging extension globally. However, you can now use the messaging extension globally, even if you don't set your site. If you don't set your personal site, the meeting extension chooses one associated with your account.

WBS40.6

Start Webex Meetings from the Cisco Webex Meetings Messaging Extension

We've added the ability for Webex Meetings hosts in Microsoft Teams to start meetings from the Cisco Webex Meetings messaging extension anywhere in the app. Click Cisco Webex Meetings on the messaging extensions bar to start a meeting in your channel conversation, group chat, or private chat.

To use the messaging extension, install the Webex Meetings app for Microsoft Teams and set your Webex site in the private chat with the Cisco Webex Meetings bot.

WBS40.4

Share Recordings

We've added the ability for users to share recordings from the Webex tab in a channel. Hover over the recording and click the share button to the right of the recording details.

Meeting Notifications

Personal Room meetings now get the following notifications:

Meeting start
Meeting end
Recording notifications
- When the meeting is scheduled in the personal tab, the notification appears in the personal tab when the recording is ready.
- When the meeting is scheduled in a channel, the notification appears in the channel when the recording is ready.

WBS40.1

Attendee Invite Look Ahead for Enterprise Users

Webex Meetings hosts in Microsoft Teams now have a look ahead capability when adding attendees to their meeting invitations. The look ahead feature searches through all users in the organization, and when hosts type the first three letters of an attendee's name, that person's email appears to make the experience easier. If more than one attendee has the same three initials, then a list appears for the host to select the appropriate person.

This feature makes scheduling Webex meetings from Microsoft Teams even easier, further supporting a similar integration of Webex Meetings and Microsoft Teams.

Install and Set Up Cisco Webex Meetings for Microsoft Teams

Install and set up Cisco Webex Meetings for Microsoft Teams. Some steps must be completed by a Webex site administrator, while others must be done by a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator. Follow the steps to get your users up and running with Webex Meetings for Microsoft Teams.

Webex Site Administrators

Configure Your Cisco Webex Site for the Integration with Microsoft 365

Before users with a Microsoft Teams account can use the Webex tab in Microsoft Teams, Webex site administrators must link users' Webex accounts to their Microsoft 365 accounts. The email addresses for both accounts should match and Microsoft Teams free accounts can't be used.

1	Do one of the following: If you manage your Webex site in Cisco Webex Control Hub, from the customer view in https://admin.webex.com, go to Services. Under Meeting, select Sites, choose your site, and then select Configure Site. Under Common Settings, select Site Options. If you manage your Webex site in Cisco Webex Site Administration, sign in to Webex Site Administration and then go to Configuration > Common Site Settings > Options.
2	Under Third-Party Integration, check Automatically link users with this Webex site if their Webex account email address matches their Microsoft 365 email address. Automatically link users check box Checking this option lets Microsoft Teams users start meetings in their Webex Personal Rooms without signing in to a browser, see recently joined Personal Rooms, and view upcoming meetings. The Allow users to sign in to Webex Meetings with their Microsoft 365 accounts check box isn't used with Microsoft Teams. It allows users to sign in to their Cisco Webex site using their Microsoft 365 credentials. The Allow individual users to add the calendar integration for their upcoming meetings list in Modern View check box also isn't used with Microsoft Teams. It allows users to see meetings scheduled from their Microsoft 365 calendar in the meetings list on their Webex site.
3	Select Add New Authorization. For more information about the authorization and permissions that are requested, see Authorization and Permissions Requested for Microsoft 365 in Webex Site Administration and Webex Control Hub.
4	Sign in to your administrator's account, and select Accept.
5	Select Update. After the authorization is updated with tenant ID and tenant domain details, your site is ready to be integrated with Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft 365 Global Administators

Enable the Cisco Webex Meetings App for Microsoft 365

Before you begin

Team owners and team members can see and install the Cisco Webex Meetings app in the Microsoft Teams Store only after the Global Administrator for Microsoft 365 has used the following steps to give permission.

If you have a FedRAMP-authorized Webex site, see Enable the FedRAMP-Authorized Cisco Webex Meetings App for Microsoft 365 to set up the integration.

1	Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center and select Settings > Services & add-ins, and then select Microsoft Teams.
2	Under External Apps, by default, Allow external apps in Microsoft Teams is turned on. If you turn off this switch, all external third-party apps are disabled. Make sure that you allow external apps in Microsoft Teams. For more information, go to Admin settings for apps in Microsoft Teams.
3	Make sure that Allow sideloading of external apps is turned off.
4	Turn on the app by checking the Cisco Webex Meetings check box.
5	Select Save.

Enable Cisco Webex Meetings For Government for Microsoft 365

Before you begin

To install the Webex Meetings for Government app for Microsoft 365, turn on Allow external apps in Microsoft Teams and Allow sideloading of external apps. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to download the installation package.

1	Sign in to Microsoft Teams with your administrator account.
2	Click Apps, and then select Upload a custom app > Upload for <tenant name>.
3	Locate Webex Meetings for Government.zip on your local computer and open it.
4	Click Webex Meetings for Government, and then click Add.
5	Click Give permission, and then enter your password, if required.
6	Click Accept to grant Webex Meetings the requested permissions.

Set a Cisco Webex Site for Your Organization

If you're a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator or Microsoft Teams administrator, you can set a Webex site for your entire organization. When you set an organization-wide Webex site, every channel in your organization uses that site if no other site is set. You can still set a different site for yourself or for a team.

Before you begin

Install or update the Cisco Webex Meetings app for yourself.

1	If there are other Microsoft Teams administrators in your organization, they may have already set a site for your organization. To check whether or not a site has been set, in a private chat with the Cisco Webex Meetings bot, type `site org` and press Enter.
2	If the Webex site hasn't been set or you want to set a different one, type `site org [Webex site URL]` and press Enter. Your Webex site URL is usually in the format `company`.webex.com.
3	If you want to remove the Webex site as the default for your organization, type `site org reset` and press Enter.

Users

Add or Update the Cisco Webex Meetings App for Yourself

You must install the Cisco Webex Meetings app for yourself, even if it has already been added to your team. The app includes the Cisco Webex Meetings bot. When you install the app and bot for yourself and set your default Webex site, you'll be able to use the Cisco Webex Meetings messaging extension to share a link to a Webex meeting.

The Cisco Webex Meetings app will update automatically when new updates are available. You won't have to update the Cisco Webex Meetings app that you install for yourself.

Select More added apps on the left side of Microsoft Teams, and then select More apps.

Search for the Cisco Webex Meetings app, select the app, and select Add.

In the private chat with the Cisco Webex Meetings bot that appears, set the default Webex site to use with the Cisco Webex Meetings messaging extension. Type site [Webex site URL]. Your Webex site URL is usually in the format company.webex.com.

If a team Webex site has been set that's different than your default Webex site, the team Webex site will be used when you use the messaging extension in that team.

If you want to pin the Cisco Webex Meetings messaging extension to the messaging extensions bar:

Select Messaging extensions .
Right-click the Cisco Webex Meetings app and select Pin.

Add or Update the Cisco Webex Meetings App for a Team

A team owner or team member must add the Cisco Webex Meetings app for a team. The app only needs to be added once for each team.

In Microsoft Teams, go to Teams.

Next to the team name, select More > Manage team > Apps

To add the app, select Go to store, search for the Cisco Webex Meetings app, and then click Add. The Cisco Webex Meetings app contains the Cisco Webex Meetings bot. The Cisco Webex Meetings bot provides the commands that you use to set up and share Webex meeting links.

If you're using Microsoft 365 and you don't see the Cisco Webex Meetings app in the store, contact your Microsoft 365 Global Administrator.

To update the app, follow the on-screen instructions.

What to do next

Verify that the Webex site that your team will use for meetings is set. For more information, see Set Up Microsoft Teams to Use Cisco Webex Meetings.

Add the Webex Tab to Microsoft Teams

1	In Microsoft Teams, select Add a tab at the top of the channel.
2	Search for and select the Cisco Webex Meetings app. If you don't get any search results, make sure that you have version 2.0 or later of the Cisco Webex Meetings app. For more information, see Add or Update the Cisco Webex Meetings App for a Team.
3	Follow the on-screen instructions and, if prompted, accept the requested permissions. If you're the administrator for your Microsoft 365 organization, you can make adding the Webex tab easier for everyone. Click Consent on behalf of your organization in the permission request window so that each person doesn’t have to accept the requested permissions individually.

Set Up Microsoft Teams to Use Cisco Webex Meetings

1	The Cisco Webex Meetings app may have already set the Webex site that your team will use for meetings. To check whether the site has been set, in any Microsoft Teams channel in which the Cisco Webex Meetings bot has been added, type `@Cisco Webex Meetings site`.
2	If the Webex site hasn't been set or if you want to set a different Webex site as the team site, type `@Cisco Webex Meetings site [Webex site URL]`. Your Webex site URL is usually in the format `company`.webex.com. Remember that when you change the Webex site, it changes for all members of that team. That’s it. You and your team members can now use `@Cisco Webex Meetings` commands to easily invite others to a Webex meeting. Users can type `@Cisco Webex Meetings` to share a Join button and show the meeting link for your Webex Personal Room meeting or type `@Cisco Webex Meetings [meeting_number]` to share a Join button and show a meeting link for a scheduled Webex meeting with the specified meeting number.
3	If you have a different Webex site that you want to use for sharing a meeting URL, go to a private chat with the Cisco Webex Meetings app and type `site [default Webex site URL]` to set the Webex site URL for your default Webex site. Other members of the team continue to use the team site unless they also set their default Webex site URL.
