    Allow the Cisco Webex Meetings App to Monitor Input from the Keyboard Even While Using Other Apps
    list-menuFeedback?

    Allow the Cisco Webex Meetings app to monitor input from the keyboard even while using other apps.

    I am being prompted to allow monitor input from my keyboard even while using other apps.

    The Mac OS Catalina (Version 10.15) users get a pop-up message 'Allow the apps below to monitor input from your keyboard even while using other apps.' while starting or joining a meeting:

    User-added image

    This pop-up message is due to new User Data Controls in Mac OS Catalina. Allow the app to capture keyboard input for a seamless Webex experience.

    Note: Users may encounter similar prompts while using camera or microphone in a Webex meeting.
