Turn on or turn off Webex Assistant during a meeting or webinar
Webex Assistant for Meetings is an intelligent, interactive virtual assistant that makes meetings and webinars searchable, actionable, and more productive. 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 a word of what's being said. Record the meeting or webinar to get a post-meeting transcript.
