Basic call controls

With Webex Expert on Demand, there are some basic on-screen controls that you can use when you're in a call.

    Choose from:

  • Zoom—When you're in a call, say Zoom level 1 to zoom on the screen shared by the remote expert.

    The zoom levels go from 1 to 5.

  • Focus— say Manual Focus. The camera is in auto focus mode by default.

    Selecting Manual Focus displays 9 focus points. Say Focus Point 1-9 to focus on a particular area. Say Hide Focus Points to hide them from view.

    The audio and video for the call is stopped, but the call remains active.
