When people are at work, they get together in lots of workspaces like huddle rooms, lobbies, and conference rooms. You can set up shared Webex devices in these workspaces, add services, and then watch the collaboration happen. Whatever device you choose to add to that workspace, the device is assigned to the workspace, not a user. The key advantage is shared usage.
When people are at work, they get together in lots of places like lunch rooms, lobbies, and conference rooms. You can set up shared Cisco Webex devices in these Workspaces, add services, and then watch the collaboration happen.
The key principle of a Workspaces device is that it isn’t assigned to a specific user, but rather a physical location, allowing for shared usage.
