Connect to a device automatically

When you're close to a device, it automatically connects to your Webex app. You know the app is connected, when the device's name shows up on your app. Make sure to turn on the automatic connection on your app if it has been turned off. Select your profile picture, and navigate to Settings and Devices. On the Desktop app, select Advanced settings and toggle on Automatically connect to devices. On the mobile app, toggle on Use Ultrasound or Use NFC. Note that for the automatic connection to work, you can only have one device that uses ultrasound in a room.
