When Webex Assistant is turned on, the host and participants can capture highlights, such as action items, with one click or a voice command, and show captions so that no one misses what's being said. After the meeting or webinar ends, highlights are emailed to the host and are available to them on their Webex site. Hosts can share the highlights with anyone who has an account on their Webex site, and they can also email selected highlights to others.

Record the meeting or webinar to get a post-meeting transcript.
