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

Take advantage of your iPad's ability to multitask so you can focus on specific meeting content.

For select iPad models, use the iPad's Stage Manager for easier multitasking.

See Show meeting content in multiple windows on iPad

Option to include Webex App when you share your screen—Windows and Mac

Other meeting participants no longer see your Webex App when you share your whole screen or a portion of your screen in a meeting.

If another participant is helping you use Webex App, it can be useful to share your app. To share your app when you share your screen, select More sharing options > Include my Webex app when sharing my screen to change the setting.

When you provide remote desktop control to another person, Webex App is shared automatically.

See Webex App | Include Webex App when sharing your screen

Make a call during a meeting—Windows and Mac

Be in two places at once and make important calls without leaving a meeting. Pause your audio and video in the meeting and then make the call. The meeting continues even though your meeting audio and video are paused. And when you're finished with your call, go back to the meeting without having to rejoin.

See Webex App | Make a call during a meeting

Book an available room when invited to a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

As a meeting invitee, search for and add meeting rooms to a scheduled meeting. Simply type the room name, and see if it's available for your meeting time.

View contact card for room—iPhone, iPad, and Android

When you schedule a meeting in the Webex App, you can select a room and view the contact card for that room. For any meetings already scheduled that include a room, you can view the contact card for the room in the meetings detail page.

Details on the contact card include the type of room, capacity, location, and devices available. Room details are entered in Control Hub.

One tap to join a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

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.

Download a meeting transcript without recording the meeting—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

If you want a written copy of the meeting audio but you don’t want to save the audio and video from the meeting, download a transcript without having to record the meeting.

To download a transcript, turn on closed captions. Then, you can save a transcript any time before the meeting ends. Your Webex administrator must enable saving transcripts.

This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.

See Webex App | Download a meeting transcript without recording the meeting

We’re launching a new experience to share files—Windows and Mac

• Present with ease when multiple presenters take turns—It can be time consuming to transition among presenters when you’re taking turns to present content in a slide deck. Our new Take control feature makes it easy for multiple presenters to transition seamlessly when they present.

• Catch-up on what’s presented during a meeting—As an attendee, sometimes you want to go back to a previous slide or read ahead. Now you can, without interrupting the presenter. Switch back to the presenter view when you’re ready.

This feature isn't supported for Webex for Government.

As a host or cohost, if you don’t want to let anyone in the meeting raise their hand, turn off the raise hand feature.

If you turn off raise hand and uncheck Allow attendees to unmute themselves, muted participants won’t be able to raise their hand to request to be unmuted.

Move meeting reminders—Windows and Linux

Reminders getting in the way? To help you finish what you’re working on before joining your meeting, drag and move your Webex meeting reminders anywhere on your screen.

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

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

Invite any user to an in-progress meeting by email—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

As a host or cohost, you can now invite Webex users from outside of your organization and users who don't have a Webex account to join a meeting that’s in progress.

In the meeting window or participants panel, click Invite people and enter their email address. The invitee receives an email invite to join the meeting.

See Webex App | Add someone to a meeting

See the meeting status indicators when you’re sharing content—Windows and Mac

The indicators that show your network connection and CPU status and whether the meeting is locked or being recorded now show in the floating mini window that appears when you’re sharing your screen or application window.

See Webex App | Share content in a meeting

Hide the video and controls when you’re sharing content—Windows and Mac

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

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

See Webex App | Share content in a meeting

Fit your camera video in self view—Windows and Mac

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 (Windows) or Preferences > Video (Mac).

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

See Webex App | Fit your camera video in self-view

Share application windows directly from your Windows taskbar—VDI

If you use Windows 11, there’s a new way to share content during a call or meeting. Hover over any open app on your taskbar and you see a new button that allows you to share the app window.

See Webex App | Share an application window directly from the Windows taskbar

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

Book an available room when invited to a meeting—Windows, Mac, and Linux

As a meeting invitee, search for and add meeting rooms to a scheduled meeting. Simply type the room name, and see if it's available for your meeting time.

Guest meeting settings—Windows and Mac

When you join a meeting as a guest, you now have access to more meeting settings, such as:

• Appearance—change the theme color
• Accessibility—screen reader and keyboard shortcut options

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

To learn about what's new for full-featured meetings, see What's New for the Latest Channel of Webex Meetings.

Schedule recurring meetings—Windows and Mac

You can now create a meeting series that repeats in daily, weekly, or monthly increments. Meeting organizers can edit specific instances to include additional people, or update meeting agendas. Meeting invitees can choose to accept or decline a single instance of the recurring meeting, or the entire meeting series.

Show up to 81 participant videos at a time—Windows, Mac, and Linux

If you have more than 25 participants in your meeting, now you can increase the number of participants to show in grid layout. You can choose to view up to 81 participants on-screen at a time in a 9 × 9 grid.

Go to Settings > Meetings > Layout to select the default number of participant videos to view on each page for the grid layout.

See Webex App | Adjust the maximum number of participants you see per page in grid layout

Hide your self view when you turn off your video—iPhone, iPad, and Android

When you turn off your video in a meeting, your self view shows your profile picture or your display name when you're in grid layout. If you prefer, you can choose to hide your self view in grid layout whenever you turn off your video. If you turn on your video, your self view shows.

See Webex App | Show your self view only when your video is on

See yourself in full-screen mode—iPhone, iPad, and Android

When you’re the only person in the meeting, your self-view video is now visible in full-screen mode.

Use an external USB camera as shared content—Windows and Mac

During a meeting, share content from an external USB camera or built-in camera, just like you share your desktop. Participants see whatever the camera sees, and they’ll still be able to view your self-view video.

See Webex App | Share content using an external USB camera

Share application windows directly from your Windows taskbar—Windows

If you use Windows 11, there’s a new way to share content during a call or meeting. Hover over any open app on your taskbar and you see a new button that allows you to share the app window.

See Webex App | Share an application window directly from the Windows taskbar

Save bandwidth during a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

If you want to save bandwidth on your mobile device, stop receiving incoming videos during a meeting. You'll still be able to view shared content.

During a meeting, tap More options and toggle off Receiving Incoming Videos.

See Webex App | Stop receiving incoming video in a meeting

Use an animated background in your meeting—iPhone and iPad

Add some pizzazz to your meeting and keep your audience’s attention by uploading your own animated background image.

Webex App for iPhone and iPad supports MP4 and GIF files.

Raise hand emoji uses your preferred skin tone—iPhone, iPad, and Android

When you raise your hand in a meeting, the raise hand emoji now uses the reaction skin tone you chose.

See Webex App | Choose the skin tone for your reactions

Share video from your mobile device’s rear camera—iPhone, iPad, and Android

During a meeting, share video from the built-in rear camera on your mobile device. Zoom in and out to focus on what you want participants to see.

See Webex App | Share content in a meeting

Play a notification sound when someone’s waiting in the lobby—Windows, Mac, and Linux

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 have Webex 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

Sync your stage now syncs the video proportion of the stage—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

During a meeting, if you resize your stage to show more of the shared content or participant video while syncing to everyone, you can now update your stage, so everyone sees your changes. This ensures that everyone in the meeting sees the exact same stage as you intend.

See Sync your stage with everyone in meetings, webinars, and events

Failed call ins now get an option for an automatic callback—iPhone, iPad, and Android

If you use your mobile device to call in to a meeting and the call fails, you’ll now see an option to call back into the meeting again.

Use an animated background in your meeting—Android

Add some pizzazz to your meeting and keep your audience’s attention by uploading your own animated background image.

Webex App for Android supports MP4 files.

See Webex App | Use a virtual or blurred background in calls and meetings

Join button in meetings list—Android

The Join button appears for a meeting shortly before it begins, tap and join right from the list on the meetings tab.

Share only a portion of your screen—VDI

We announced that this feature was available in February but it'll be available in a future release.

If you want to share a specific area of your screen with meeting participants, select the area that you want to share. Participants only see the portion of the screen you selected, not your entire screen.

See more applications in the “Share content” window—VDI

When you have lots of applications open, sometimes it’s difficult to find the one that you want to share in a meeting. Now, you can resize the Share content window to display more applications. You can display up to 5 columns of applications. The app remembers your changes for next time.

See Webex App | Share content in a meeting

Participants external to your organization can start and schedule meetings in a space—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

You asked and we listened. External participants in a space who are licensed to host meetings in their own organization, can now schedule meetings in the space and start meetings in the space, when they want to collaborate instantly.

This feature also applies to enhanced meetings associated with a space, which are available on our Video Mesh-ready meeting platform.

When the meeting ends, meeting content from external participants isn’t shared automatically in the space. The meeting host must add the content to the space after the meeting.
