Before you begin

Starting with the WBS40.4 update, Webex Meetings provides an enhanced Virtual Desktop Software that routes all audio and video streams directly between the thin client and the Webex Meetings Cloud. There's no need of infrastructure, such as Cisco Unified Call Manager and Cisco Expressway. For more information, see Cisco Webex Meetings Virtual Desktop Software.
