Create a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing (CUVC) session type

With the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing (CUVC) session type, you can integrate Webex services with video conferencing sessions on the CUVC system. A meeting ID helps you accomplish this integration.

Before you can integrate Webex services with the CUVC system, ensure that:

  • The CUVC option is available for your Webex site.

  • You have enabled the CUVC option on the settings page.

  • Note: When the CUVC option is enabled, the CUVC Desktop replaces Webex video during a session.

    You can configure the CUVC integration by using either a Dynamic CUVC meeting ID or a custom CUVC meeting ID.

Sign in to Webex Site Administration and go to Configuration > Common Site Settings > Session Types .

(Optional) Configure the CUVC integration by providing either the Custom CUVC Meeting ID or the Dynamic CUVC Meeting ID.

  • To provide the Custom CUVC Meeting ID, select Allow entering a CUVC Meeting ID in the meeting scheduler .

  • To provide a Dynamic CUVC Meeting ID, do not select Allow entering a CUVC Meeting ID in the meeting scheduler . The Webex meeting number represents the CUVC Meeting ID when you schedule a meeting. You must also include a "service prefix" in the %MeetingID% variable for the CUVC URL. For example, http://hostname.example.com/path/?ID=<Service_Prefix>%MeetingID%. Allow entering a CUVC Meeting ID in the meeting scheduler is unchecked by default.
