Use mobile device management to configure Webex Meetings
Feedback?If you're interested in Microsoft Intune SDK MDM or Blackberry SDK MDM support, you can sign up for the mobile application management program.
Overview
Managed configurations, previously known as application restrictions, allow an organization's IT administrator to remotely specify settings for the Meetings mobile app.
Meetings defines the managed configuration options that can be remotely set by an IT administrator. These are arbitrary settings that can be changed by a managed configuration provider. If your app is running in a work profile, your IT administrator can also change your app's managed configuration.
A managed configurations provider is another app controlled by the IT administrator which is running on the same device. The IT administrator communicates configuration changes to the managed configuration provider app, which then makes changes to Meetings.
Prerequisites
-
iOS 9.0 or later
-
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) software such as Jamf Pro, AirWatch, Microsoft Intune, or MobileIron

Configuration policies for Meetings
IT administrators can add configuration policies to devices that are enrolled in an EMM solution.
Sign in to the EMM console and approve Meetings from Managed Google Play. IT administrators can then add app configuration policies for the Meetings mobile app. After a user installs Meetings, their device automatically configures the app.

Known Issues
Policies controlled by EMM through a Device Policy Controller (DPC) installed on the mobile device may affect Webex App behavior for the following features. IT administrators can use MDM to enable or disable them:
-
Share screen: a black screen may appear to others in the meeting when screen capture is disabled.
-
Start self-video: you can't start camera video when the camera is disabled.
-
Bluetooth device: you can't use Bluetooth devices when Bluetooth connections are disabled.
-
Launch Webex App from browser: you can't launch the Webex App from the browser if the browser app is restricted to send WBX protocol to the Webex App.
