Cohosts can record meetings in the cloud—Windows, Mac, Linux, VDI, iPhone, iPad, and Android


 
We originally announced this feature in April. It's available on a phased rollout and will be available to all customers by June 20.

We’re excited to announce that we’re allowing cohosts to record a meeting in the cloud. This makes it easy to record a meeting if the host isn’t available or is busy during the meeting.

Cohosts have the same capabilities that a host has. They can start, stop, or pause the recording. After the meeting ends, the host still owns the recording. The recording is shared automatically with the cohosts within the organization.

If you prefer, your Webex administrator can also allow meeting participants to record meetings in the cloud.

See Webex | Record a meeting in the cloud

Annotate on shared content—Windows and Mac

If you want to highlight or point out something that you’re sharing, draw right on the screen or application window. Use the pen or disappearing ink, which fades away after a few seconds.

Optionally, allow other participants to annotate on the shared content too.

See Webex App | Mark up a shared screen with annotations

Run two instances of your app side-by-side—iPad

Take advantage of your iPad's ability to multitask so you can focus on specific meeting content. Split shared content, the participants panel, or the chat panel into its own window on your iPad screen so you don't miss anything. If you attached a monitor to your iPad, move the second window to its own screen to give yourself more room to see what's going on. For select iPad models, use the iPad's Stage Manager for easier multitasking.

See Show meeting content in multiple windows on iPad

Play a notification sound when someone’s waiting in the lobby—VDI

If you lock your meeting, sometimes it’s difficult to notice when someone’s waiting in the lobby to join.

Hosts and cohosts can now choose to the app play a sound on their computer when someone enters the lobby.

You only hear the sound when you're the host or cohost. The sound only plays once every 10 seconds, regardless of how many users have entered the lobby.

See Webex App | Play a notification sound when someone is waiting in the lobby

Hide the participant video and meeting control panel when you’re sharing content—VDI

In a meeting, if you prefer to see only the content that you’re sharing, you can now hide the floating panel that contains participant videos and the meeting controls.

In earlier releases, you had the option to collapse the panel but now you can hide it completely if you prefer if you prefer the panel to be out of your way.

To show the panel again, press Ctrl + Alt + P (Windows) or Shift + ⌥ + P (Mac).

See Webex App | Share content in a meeting

Fit your camera video in self view—VDI

In earlier releases, if your camera video used a 4:3 aspect ratio, Webex cropped your self view to a 16:9 aspect ratio to fit the frame. With our new Zoom to fit setting, we preserve your full camera video. Preview what your self-view video looks like in Settings > Video.

If you prefer to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio, uncheck this setting.

Features available only on our Video Mesh-ready meeting platform

The following additional features are available only on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform. Find out if your meetings are running on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform.

Allow participants to hear the meeting in their preferred language with simultaneous interpretation—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

As a host or cohost, use simultaneous interpretation to create language channels, invite interpreters, and assign them to languages. Interpreters select the source language for interpretation, change the interpretation direction, and hand off interpretation to the next interpreter. With our enhanced work flow, inactive interpreters can request that the active interpreter hand off interpretation to them, otherwise they go in the order that the host set.


 

This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.

See Simultaneous interpretation in Webex meetings, webinars, and Personal Rooms

Automatically hear the original meeting audio when it’s in your language with simultaneous interpretation—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

When the original audio is in the same language as the interpretation channel that you subscribe to, and the interpreter stops speaking in that channel, you automatically hear 100 percent original audio (floor audio) after a few seconds.

When the interpreter starts speaking in that channel again, you hear the volume balance of interpreter/original audio according to what’s set. You can change it according to your preference.


 

This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.

Start a Slido poll during a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

With Slido, you can easily engage with other participants and the host. Open Slido from Apps or More options from the meeting controls. By default, Slido is available for hosts and cohosts, who can turn it on for attendees in meeting options.

Move your meeting to a new device—VDI

Seamlessly move a meeting from one desktop or mobile device to another without disrupting or disconnecting from the meeting. For example, if you commute to work and join a meeting on your mobile device, move the meeting to your laptop when you get to the office. Or, if you need to step away from your computer during a meeting, move the meeting to your mobile device.

By default, the meeting moves to the new device, and you leave the meeting on the previous device. If you prefer, change your meeting preference to keep both devices in the meeting.

Focus on the individual, instead of their surroundings, during a meeting—VDI

We've added new feature in grid layout called people focus, which gives you a better face-to-face experience with the people you're meeting with.

Regardless of how each person is positioned in front of their camera, the app automatically adjusts so that each person's face is what you focus on. You feel more connected to them—as if you're there in person.

See Use people focus to see people more clearly in meetings and webinars

Features available only on our Video Mesh-ready meeting platform

The Webex meeting experience is now starting to roll out on the Video Mesh-ready platform. This platform allows for improved and simplified experiences for hybrid work across the entire Webex Suite, with common architecture, administration, and integrations. It converges the meeting experience across Webex applications and devices, and unlocks potential for continuous collaboration before and after a meeting, with rich real-time experiences. Find out if your meetings are running on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform.

The following features are available only on the Video Mesh-ready meeting platform.

Add files in a meeting—Windows, Mac, Linux

Improve your meeting experience and upload files during a meeting where all attendees can download the files. Hosts and cohosts can turn off the ability for everyone to add files at any stage of the meeting.

See Webex App | Add files in a meeting

Preassign participants to breakout sessions—Windows and Mac

As a host, if you already know which breakout sessions you want to assign participants to, create the breakout sessions ahead of time when you schedule the meeting. Let Webex App automatically assign participants to the sessions, manually assign participants to the sessions yourself, or let the participants choose which session to join.

See Preassign participants to breakout sessions

Move your meeting to a new device—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

Seamlessly move a meeting from one desktop or mobile device to another without disrupting or disconnecting from the meeting. For example, if you commute to work and join a meeting on your mobile device, move the meeting to your laptop when you get to the office. Or, if you need to step away from your computer during a meeting, move the meeting to your mobile device.

By default, the meeting moves to the new device, and you leave the meeting on the previous device. If you prefer, change your meeting preference to keep both devices in the meeting.

See Webex App | Move a meeting to another desktop or mobile device

Provide or request remote desktop control when sharing your screen—VDI

When you're sharing your screen during a meeting, you can give someone else mouse and keyboard access to your screen. You can also request access to someone else's screen when they're sharing. This can help if you need to troubleshoot an issue or if you're in a training session with someone.

Remote desktop control is supported only when you share your entire screen, and not when you share other types of content.

See Webex App | Provide or request remote desktop control

The following enhancements are available on our Video Mesh-ready platform.

When you start a meeting

After you start an instant meeting, it's easy to invite people to join the meeting, directly from the meeting window.

Invite people directly to the meeting

With our improved notification system, participants no longer need to notify the host when they're waiting in the lobby to join a meeting. We removed the Notify host button so hosts no longer need to check their email. The host now automatically receives a notification from the app when there are participants waiting in the lobby.

In the meeting window

We've made several changes to improve your experience and improve the workflow during a meeting. The Layout and Zoom buttons are conveniently located so you can switch to other layouts or show more participants.

In grid view layout, use the navigation controls to quickly go from one page to another, or to jump back to the first page of participants.

The participants panel not only shows you the participants who are In the meeting but also the people who are invited but are Not in the meeting yet. The participant panel is also now more user-centric so a user is listed once only, even when they join from multiple devices.

Since most people join a meeting with their audio turned on, the participants panel now shows an audio indicator only when a participant has muted their audio. That way, if someone is talking but you can't hear them, you can scan the list of participants to see who has their audio turned off.

The meeting options are simplified, and related menu items are removed from the right-click menu of the participants panel.

Instead of opening multiple panels at once and taking up valuable screen space, you can open one panel at a time and pop multiple panels out, when you need to.

Video mesh enhancements for meetings

We've simplified syncing the stage. After the host syncs the stage, attendees can't customize the stage and adjust the stage proportion. Attendees now always see the view that the host intended them to see.

Sync the stage view during a meeting

While sharing content

It's more convenient to share your Webex meeting window. Share it directly from the Share content dialog—where you share all other types of content—by sharing Webex App.

When you're sharing your screen, you can give remote desktop control to other participants, or they can request control, which provides a lot more flexibility to users.

To save screen space when the shared content is maximized, we show all participant videos in a narrow floating panel.

Provide remote desktop control to other participants when you're sharing your screen during a meeting

You can now share a specific area of your screen only. Participants only see the portion of the screen you select, not your entire screen.

We've simplified the actions available during sharing, keeping the share-related actions in the control bar at the top of the screen. Other key actions that you commonly use, such as mute or unmute audio, appear in the floating window.

Favorite menu bar items are now more contextual and convenient to access

We've optimized the location of the most popular options on the menu bar. You can now access options from the Share, View, Audio & Video, Participant, and Meeting menus directly from the meeting controls.

For example, access Audio Settings from the Audio options drop-down in . Access Video Settings from the Video options drop-down in .

access audio and video settings during a call or meeting from your meeting controls

Go to More options in the meeting controls to access meeting options and enable breakout sessions.

When you chat in a meeting

Get more from your meeting with our enriched in-meeting chat. Organize a productive meeting by sharing the meeting agenda, notes, and a summary in the chat. Even if you join the meeting late, you can easily catch up by seeing meeting chat from the start of the meeting. Engage and express yourself by using markdown, reactions, or GIFs. Revisit and share the chat after the meeting ends.

Open and chat in a meeting

When you're multitasking during a meeting

When the window is minimized or covered up by other applications, a floating mini window appears on top of the other applications that you’ve open. This allows you to keep an eye on what’s happening in the meeting. To easily get back to the meeting, click anywhere in the floating mini window.

  • Organizations using Box Device Trust can use the Box ECM integration.
  • Browser authentication provides a more secure and easier experience.
