Support Policy
Webex App is proactively tested against versions of supported platform operating systems (OS): Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Compatibility and support for new OS versions is being provided in the following manner:
-
Compatibility—We proactively monitor upcoming OS versions and validate Webex App for compatibility with OS Beta releases. Our best effort is made to address any blocking issues or incompatibilities discovered during testing.
Example: iOS 16 is planned to be released in September 2022. The current version of Webex App for iOS is validated for compatibility with iOS 16 Beta versions. If blocking issues are discovered, they're fixed and released in an updated version of Webex App for iOS before the iOS 16 GA release date. If no blocking issues are discovered, the current Webex App version is considered compatible with iOS 16.
Fixes are incorporated as per the Cisco support and maintenance policy.
-
Support—Once a new OS version is officially released, OS verification tests are performed using the latest version of Webex App on the newly released version of the OS. Any discovered issues are addressed as part of the next regular feature or maintenance Webex App release.
Example: iOS 16 is released in September 2022. OS verification tests of the latest Webex App for iOS are performed with the released iOS 16 GA version. Any found issues are addressed in the next release Webex App release. Webex App is designated as supporting iOS 16.
We recommend that you use the latest desktop version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox to access Control Hub. Other browsers may produce unexpected results.
Control Hub doesn't support Internet Explorer.
Safari browsers may run into some problems when configuring Webex Meeting sites in Control Hub. We recommend that you use Google Chrome to avoid those problems.
Control Hub is not designed for mobile devices.
