Announcements
-
We've removed support for booking app for rooms without Webex calendar. We're adding support for this in a later release.
-
Cisco collaboration devices with Microsoft Teams Rooms are blocked from upgrading to RoomOS June 2024 due to a new Microsoft Teams Rooms app not being ready in time for our release. The Microsoft Teams Rooms app is expected to be ready in time for the RoomOS July 2024 release.
The latest release for devices running Microsoft Teams Rooms is RoomOS May 2024, devices on stable channel will stay on this software version until the release of RoomOS July 2024.
Notification in Control Hub regarding these devices can be dismissed, if your devices are already running RoomOS May 2024 no further action is required. Your devices will function as normally and there is no loss of functionality.

RoomOS August
August 8, 2024
Software version: RoomOS 11.19.1.7 3055d561c16
Improvements to frames experience
Key improvements are:
-
The new framing-aware grouping for 2–4 people, which prevents people to be shown in multiple cells.
-
The new framing for 5–6 participants, limiting the number of cells to 2 for a more stable experience.
This improved feature is available on Board Series, Room Bars, and codecs with Quad Camera.
Read more about frames.
Extended speaker view
Get a front-row seat, wherever you are.
Adaptive speaker tracking and intelligent framing by the Cisco Quad Camera and the Cisco PTZ 4K pan-tilt-zoom camera, capture the active speaker and other in-room participants, even in the largest spaces.

Requirement: Room Kit EQ, Room Kit EQX, or Room Kit Pro, 1 x 4K PTZ cameras, minimum 4–6 x Table Microphone Pro's (depending on room size).
Read more about extended speaker view.
Cross-view with Quad Camera as side-camera
We are extending Cross-view to also support a setup with Quad Cameras as side cameras. Quad Cameras work better for some rooms, such as large meeting rooms.
Supported with Codec EQ and Codec Pro.
Read more about cross-view.
AI postmeeting summaries for Webex Meetings
Turn on AI meeting summaries during the meeting on your device to generate an AI post meeting summary with action items after the meeting ends.
Hosts and cohosts can view this meeting summary in their email or Webex App. Only a host or cohost can start and stop the meeting summary. The setting for this can be changed to ‘anyone’ by host, cohost, and administrators.
Note: Available in Webex Suite meetings only – not available on legacy Webex Meetings.
Read more about AI postmeeting summaries.
Improved docked notifications on devices
Previously, in meetings on your device, the docked notifications for mute, stop video, and volume off can cover important content on the right side of your screen, especially when the chat or embedded apps panel were open. To address this, these three docked notifications have been moved into the Meeting Information Center on the top right of your screen. This is where you would see the 'record' or 'locked meeting' icons.
![](https://www.cisco.com/content/dam/en/us/td/i/400001-500000/480001-490000/484001-485000/484963.jpg)

In stacked layout and when someone is sharing content, the Meeting Information Center moves down, just below the filmstrip, to avoid covering anyone in the meeting.
AV1 codec for better quality content sharing
The AV1 codec improves quality by being more effective at lower bandwidths. It is the default content codec in Webex Meetings. With this update, the latest generation of Cisco devices can receive content in AV1 format from the Webex App.
Sending content in AV1 is not possible currently. Older generation devices will receive transcoded content in H.264 format.
Move other participants to stage layout option
Meetings by default use the grid layout, providing equity and equally sized participants. However, in some meetings you want to focus in on one or a few participants, for example in an all hands or presentation. By introducing move to stage, we allow device users to select the participants they want to pay extra attention to.
Available in Webex Meetings. This phase does not include the ability for devices to "sync my stage to everyone" nor receive a synched stage from another meeting participant.
Read more about move to stage.
ThousandEyes extended support
ThousandEyes agent on devices is now supported for WebRTC interop meetings and in on-premises Unified CM deployments.
Read more about ThousandEyes integration for RoomOS devices.
Improve HTTP Proxy support
We're making the following improvements to the HTTP proxy:
-
All HTTP(S) traffic now uses a common helper for HTTP proxy support, which means we can change our HTTP proxy protocol implementation without updating each individual service.
-
Adding a configuration to specifically use basic authentication to the proxy. When this is set we include the authentication header in the initial request instead of waiting until we are challenged with a 407, saving an HTTP round trip between RoomOS and the proxy.
-
Adding support for HTTPS with certificate based mutual TLS authentication to the proxy.
Joining Zoom meetings with alternative domains
Zoom users can now select a different domain than the default to join their meetings by selecting the preferred location from a drop-down list when they dial into a meeting.
Read more about joining Zoom meetings.
Zoom UI from SIP dialing
You can now get Cisco's Zoom UI even when placing the Zoom call as a SIP address from the calling app or with xCommand Dial.
Default value for minimum TLS version changed
Default value changed from TLSv1.1 -> TLSv1.2 for
-
Web engine
-
SIP
-
https server/nginx
xConfiguration SIP MinimumTLSVersion
xConfiguration WebEngine MinimumTLSVersion
xConfiguration NetworkServices HTTPS Server MinimumTLSVersion
This change applies to SIP and HTTPS client and server.
If you see an error containing a variation of “no protocols available” in your client logs, we encourage you to upgrade your client. An example from a curl log: “error:0A0000BF:SSL routines::no protocols available”

You may see the following configuration change on a device's History page in Control Hub. This configuration doesn't have any effect on the device and can be ignored. Configuration name: Webex > Provisional Activation Service Value change: Disabled (Default) - Enabled |
Hot-desking for Board Series
Hot-desking is now available for Board Series devices, previously only available on Desk Series devices.
Hot-desking on Board Series operates similarly to Desk Series but includes user interface adjustments that are tailored for the Board's form factor. Sign-in is only supported with a QR code. Upon sign-in, users get access to their individual calendars, personal whiteboards, and call history. For this functionality to be available, the workspace scheduling type needs to be set up as hot-desking.
We've added the ability for administrators to set a maximum booking duration for the hot-desking sessions.
We've also added a new configuration that would require users to sign in before they can use the whiteboarding feature on the device. This change allows administrators to add this if it is required by company policy.
Supported devices: Board 55S/70S/85S, Board Pro 55/70, and Board Pro G2.
Read more about hot-desking configuration and use.
Updates to microphone support
We're enabling audio over IP using the AES67 protocol for Board Pro and Board Pro G2. This means that you can connect Shure and Sennheiser microphones digitally to our devices.
We're extending the Cisco Table Microphone support on Board Pro to up to 8 microphones. AV integrator license is required.

RoomOS May
May 13, 2024
Software version: RoomOS 11.16.1.7 81e0063ac75
Check in and out of meeting rooms
A significant percentage of meetings result in a ghost meeting, meaning no one shows up and the meeting resources are wasted during the booking. To alleviate this problem, the users who booked the meeting can check in to the meeting when arriving to the room. If no one arrives for the booking and check ins, the meeting room releases the booking and the room is free for use.
Check in and out is available on shared bookable devices and standalone Room Navigator
Read more about configuring room booking inside a room and outside a room.
See people's reactions in their video stream
We all know reactions are one of the best ways to gauge the engagement of your audience in a meeting. With this update, when people who are in your meeting video grid on screen send a reaction into the meeting, that reaction appears on the bottom right of their video stream. Similarly, if someone raises their hand, it will appear in their video and persist until it's addressed.
Read more about reactions in meetings.
Screen lock on Board and Room Series when used as personal devices
With a personalized 6-digit PIN on a personal mode device, you can keep your private information safe. Sensitive data like calendars, call records, and whiteboards remain inaccessible when the device is locked, while meeting notifications are delivered without subjects.

Resolution control
With the new resolution control, you have the ability to set a maximum resolution for video input connectors on your devices.
Set a preferred maximum resolution for devices to avoid unnecessary upscaling and get exactly the quality you intended. Setting a preferred maximum resolution prevents automatic 4K sharing which can result in poor video quality.

Default value: USB3
Available on: Cisco Desk, Desk Mini, Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, Room Kit EQ
Change in RTP Port configurations
From RoomOS May (11.16) separate configurations controlling port ranges used for media in Webex and Webex Optimized calls will be introduced:
xConfiguration RTP Audio Ports Range Webex Start
xConfiguration RTP Audio Ports Range Webex Stop
xConfiguration RTP Video Ports Range Webex Start
xConfiguration RTP Video Ports Range Webex Stop
Default values are:
-
Audio: 52050-52099
-
Video: 52200-52299
Existing port range configurations now only control port ranges for media in SIP and H323 calls:
xConfiguration RTP Ports Range Start
xConfiguration RTP Ports Range Stop
xConfiguration RTP Video Ports Range Start
xConfiguration RTP Video Ports Range Stop
Their default values 2326-2487 are unchanged.
If you require media in Webex Optimized calls to originate from the same source ports as for SIP/H323 calls, the Webex port range configurations need to be set to the desired range from Control Hub.

Pointing and annotation on wireless content shares and outside meetings
We're extending the functionality of the recently released pointing and annotation on wired content shares in-meeting. You'll be able to point and annotate on wireless content shares (Miracast/AirPlay) in meetings as well as outside meetings on all content share types.
Read more about live annotation.
Move participant to screen
In large meetings, the most important participants for you might not be visible in the video layout. With this feature, meeting participants can customize their view to have their most important coworkers in view.
Localized audio announcements for in-meeting recordings and the Webex Assistant
If you choose to enable audio announcements in Control Hub for either the Webex Assistant or Network-Based Recordings, you will now get a localized audio announcement.
Find more information on how to turn on these audio announcements in the following admin articles:
These announcements are off by default. Administrators can enable them in Control Hub. The announcements are available for both Webex App and device users in Webex Meetings.
Presenter tracking on Room Bar Pro
Presenter tracking is now supported on Room Bar Pro when connected to a PTZ camera.
Read more about setting up presenter tracking.
HTTP/S traffic to TMS will always use the configured HTTP proxy on the system
When RoomOS has an HTTP proxy configured (xConfiguration NetworkServices HTTP Proxy), some outgoing HTTP/S requests will still explicitly not use that proxy but always go directly to the destination. Examples are CUCM provisioning traffic and Macro requests when xConfiguration HttpClient UseHttpProxy: Off. Until now, most of the requests related to TMS provisioning has also done this. Starting with this release all TMS related HTTP requests will use the system proxy.
For deployments with TMS on the local network plus Webex Edge for Devices through a network proxy this will change how RoomOS connects to the TMS. We recommend using a PAC file containing a DIRECT match for the TMS addresses.
Improved audio for shared content
We'll deliver higher fidelity audio for content shared in Webex Meetings.

Increased bandwidth for select Board, Desk, and Room Series devices
Software version: RoomOS 11.2.1.5 dd101dc1279

Increased bandwidth noticeably improves the experience when people focus is used. Devices with increased bandwidth threshold will see less impact from issues that are related to network connectivity.
Administrators must enable this by setting the following configurations to the new bit rate:
-
Conference MaxReceiveCallRate
-
Conference MaxTransmitCallRate
-
Conference DefaultCall Webex Rate (Applies only to Webex based calls and meetings)
Available on: Codec Pro, Board Pro, Webex Desk, Desk Mini, Desk Pro, Room 70 Single G2, Room 70 Dual G2, Room Bar, and Room Kit EQ.

Remote Monitoring of Screen Status for SX20 and SX80
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-09-24 54d650be5e9
The remote monitoring of screen status that has been available for the Webex Room series and SX10 is now available for SX20 and SX80. The codec can wake up the screen if it is in standby mode or put the screen to standby when the codec enters standby. In addition the input source can be changed automatically when you receive a call.
CEC is disabled on the codec by default and must be enabled from the Advanced Settings web interface (Video Output Connector [1] CEC Mode setting). Your screen must support CEC and it has to be enabled on it for the remote monitoring to work.
New Toolbar for Whiteboarding and Mark Up
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-07-12 9f2c038ae60
The toolbar for whiteboarding and marking up presentations has been updated with more colors and a back button to delete the last step.
Connectivity and Sharing from the Cisco Webex Teams App
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-06-01 608dcdbb6e
You can now find connectivity and sharing options in the same menu on the Cisco Webex Teams. When you connect your app to your Webex room or desk device, you can share your screen and use the app to control your device. Read more about connectivity and sharing.
View Whiteboards and Annotations on Room Devices
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-05-07 42d2ca18159
You can now view whiteboards and annotations on presentations on your Room Kit, Room Kit Plus, Room 55, and Room 70 devices connected to meetings in Webex Teams. Other Webex room devices prompt you to view those from the Webex Teams app.
Cisco Spark is Now Cisco Webex
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-05-07 42d2ca18159
Cisco Spark has changed its name to Cisco Webex, and the software on Webex room and desk devices is now called RoomOS (previously Spark Room OS).
The following products have gotten new names:
-
Cisco Spark Room Kit is now Cisco Webex Room Kit
-
Cisco Spark Room Kit Plus is now Cisco Webex Room Kit Plus
-
Cisco Spark Codec Plus is now Cisco Webex Codec Plus
-
Cisco Spark Quad Cam is now Cisco Webex Quad Cam
-
Cisco Spark Room 55 and 70 is now Cisco Webex Room 55 and 70
-
Cisco DX80 is now Cisco Webex DX80
Whiteboarding on DX70 and DX80
Release ID: RoomOS 2018-05-07 42d2ca18159
You can now whiteboard and annotate on presentations.
Updated Language and Time Zone Menu
You can now see the available languages and time zones as a list.
Mirrored Self-view on DX70 and DX80
The self-view image on DX70 and DX80 is now mirrored.
Upcoming Meetings List on Your Device
The awake screen on bookable room devices now shows a list of upcoming meetings.
This feature only works on devices that are enabled with Hybrid Calendar.
Noise Suppression During Calls
This feature reduces unwanted noise during calls using machine learning to recognize when no one is speaking. When the device notices that there is noise that is not speech, the sound gets lower but not turned off completely. When a meeting participant starts speaking while there is noise, the gain is turned back up, and the speech audio is passed on like normal. Noise suppression is available for products in the Cisco Webex Room series.
Flashing Screen for Incoming Calls
To make it easier for the hearing impaired users to notice when someone is calling to their Cisco Spark room or desk device, you can set up the device's screen to flash when a call is coming.
Source Composition
With the source composition, you can compose up to four input sources into one image. This image is sent in the main video stream to the far end in a call. Source composition can only be enabled through the xAPI, so we recommend creating an In-Room Control UI to control the compositions on demand. The number of input sources you can compose depends on available physical input sources on the codec.
The composition has two layouts; Equal and Picture in Picture (PiP). Equal layout can have up to four sources that are composed into the main video while PiP is limited to two sources. You can decide what source is displayed in which frame but you can’t modify the frame positions or size. These are based on the number of sources you are composing with, and the layout you choose.
Does not apply to the following products: Cisco TelePresence SX10, Cisco DX70, and Cisco DX80.
USB to Serial Port Support for Cisco Spark Room Kit, Room Kit Plus, and Room 55
You can connect the Cisco Spark Room Kit, Room Kit Plus, and Room 55 with a USB (Type A) to serial (D-sub 9) adapter to third-party control panels. This can be used, for example, for integrations with Crestron panels. Most USB to serial adapters work for this purpose, but we recommend the UC232R-10 USB to RS232 (FTDI) adapter for a tested and stable serial connection.
Set Up Custom Prompts to the User Interface
You can add a prompt with custom text or a text input field with a submit button to the user interface. For example, you can
ask a user to leave feedback after an ended call. You can specify what type of input you want from the user: single-line text,
numeric, password, or PIN code. You can set up the prompt through the API with the commands: xCommand UserInterface Message TextInput *
. To get access to the API, an Integrator or RoomControl user role must be set. Read more about user roles.
Snap to Whiteboard for Room Series
The Snap to Whiteboard feature is now available for the Room devices. With the Snap to Whiteboard extension, the camera automatically frames both the person and the whiteboard when a person next to the whiteboard talks. This improves far-end experience when there is a physical whiteboard in the same room as a room device.
This feature works on the following devices:
-
MX700 and MX800 with SpeakerTrack
-
SX80 with QuadCam or SpeakerTrack 60
-
Room Kit
-
Room Kit Plus with QuadCam
-
Room 55
-
Room 70
Connect Your Room Device to a Proxy Server

Support for Room 70 and Room 70 Dual
Cisco Spark Room 70 is now supported on Spark Room OS. Room 70 combines a powerful codec, a quad camera, and 70” single or dual 4K displays with integrated speakers and microphones to an all-in-one device for rooms that seat up to 14 people. It offers camera technologies that bring speaker tracking and auto framing capabilities to medium to large sized rooms.
Join Meetings with One Button to Push (OBTP)
Join scheduled meetings from your room device by simply selecting the big green button that shows up when it’s time to join. One button to push works with @spark meetings. You can schedule the meetings from Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 (or a mix), and Google Calendar. Enable OBTP for a place on Cisco Control Hub to start using it for scheduled meetings.
Room 55 HDCP Support
You can now display protected content, such as Blu-ray movies and content from set-top boxes, on the Room 55 in local meetings.

Known issues
-
We no longer support upload of the certificate from the website to the device to validate the authenticity of the website. You need to upload a root CA that has signed the certificate for the website. The root CA must have x509 Basic Constraints with CA:TRUE.
-
If you're experiencing problems where Webex Assistant for devices stops working, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest RoomOS software version. Alternatively, you can verify that your devices use the new version of the Webex Assistant microservice with the configuration UserInterface Assistant AssistantBeta : True.
-
After upgrading a device to RoomOS 11, Room Navigator may lose connection to the device. For more details, see the field notice .
-
Display-port over USB-C not working on Desk and Desk Mini with Lenovo X1 computers.
-
Workaround: Download 31.0.101.4091 or earlier from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/726609/762922/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-whql-windows.html and execute program. Tick off "Execute a clean installation" and allow forcing of old driver version. Then reboot."
-
-
We made some improvements to the display identity on our devices. This may cause some laptops to identify the display differently and change display settings. Changing the display settings back on the laptop should address this and will be a one time occurrence.
-
Room Navigator may hang when booting up. To fix this, you need to factory reset the Room Navigator. Remove the foot and use a paper clip (or similar) to press and hold the recessed reset button until the screen turns black (approximately 10 seconds). Then release the button.
-
In Companion Mode, both the Cisco Board and Touch 10 notify that the board will go into standby mode and clean the board. However it’s only possible to stop the clean-up from the Cisco Board. Tapping the Touch 10 won’t stop the board from going into standby.
-
If the device fails to get an IP address through DHCP when configuring 802.1x, the last configured IP address shows up as the IP address although the device has no network connection. At the same time, the Touch 10 controller and on-screen display home screens show a message about missing network.
-
When 802.1x is configured, the configuration isn’t applied immediately. Instead, the system tells that no network is connected until the WPA supplicant has been updated. It can take up to 30 seconds to see the change. Workaround: Wait for the 802.1x authorization to finish or make sure that 802.1x is configured correctly.
Limitations
-
Brightness controller is shown on Room Navigator only if the connected displays allow brightness adjustment.
-
Cloud-registered devices have an internal 30 minute timeout setting, after which they will disconnect from a meeting if no participants have joined. It's not possible to override this behavior, and the Control Hub setting 'Automatically end meetings if there is only one participant' does not impact it.
-
The following features are not supported on RoomOS 11: Shared line remote hold/resume/barge, snap to whiteboard, and facility service.
