MP4 Recordings Default in Webex Meetings 40.10

In the upcoming October (40.10) update, all-new recordings in Webex Meetings will be stored in MP4 format, either in the cloud or locally as selected at the site or host level, with a video-centric experience. By standardizing the recording format, you'll have a wider choice of playback tools, better security, and a more effortless collaboration experience even after your meetings. Existing ARF and WRF recordings can still be downloaded or played at the Webex site. For more information regarding video-centric recording, go to Video-Centric Network-Based MP4 Recordings in Webex Meetings and Webex Events.

End of Support for Windows 7

In the upcoming September 2020 (40.9) update, Cisco Webex will officially end support for the Windows 7 operating system.  Cisco will no longer provide bug fixes or updates for this operating system and browser. While users on these platforms will not be prevented from joining or starting meetings, for now, we can no longer guarantee a fully functional operation. To have the best meeting experience possible, plan to upgrade your operating system and browser.  Please note that we are actively working on establishing dates to prevent the users on these platforms from joining Webex meetings in the future. We will provide advanced notice once we have the dates.
