Before you begin

If you want Webex Assistant for devices to import your organization’s Common Identity data, enable directory synchronization in Control Hub. For more information about directory synchronization, see the Deployment guide for Hybrid Directory.

1

Sign in to Control Hub, then go to Management > Devices.

2

Click Settings.

Scroll to Webex Assistant for devices, then check Enable Webex Assistant.

This checkbox is shown even if the supported devices are not available.

Webex Assistant is now enabled on all supported devices across your organization. To enable or disable Webex Assistant on a specific device, see the Toggle off and on section in Webex Assistant for devices.

Joining meetings with Webex Assistant using One Button to Push (OBTP) is only available if users book meetings using Webex Meetings or add @webex in the location field of the meeting invitation. For information about how to enable OBTP for devices, see Make it easier for Board, Desk, and Room Series to join meetings with One Button to Push.
