When it's time to connect to a scheduled Cisco Webex meeting or Personal Room meeting, you can join quickly from the mobile app.

  • If you're using Ford Sync 3 AppLink with Webex Meetings, use your steering wheel or dashboard controls to turn on AppLink, and then use voice commands.


When hosts schedule meetings, they can allow attendees to join meetings before them. The host's name isn't shown in the meeting information until the host joins.

When you join a meeting in someone else's Personal Room, you wait in a lobby until the host enters or admits you. When the host enters the room or admits you, you can then join the audio conference. You can tap Notify Host to alert the host that you're waiting in the lobby.

Connect to the Audio Conference

Connect to a meeting's audio conference by receiving a call to your device, using VoIP through the Internet, or entering a video address. Tap the Audio Connections Options menu to choose an audio option.

  • If you choose to Use Internet for Audio, you use your 3G or 4G data plan unless you're on a Wi-Fi connection. When you join an audio conference that's using Webex Audio or VoIP only, you use wide-band audio.


    If a participant who doesn't have wide-band audio joins a meeting that's using wide-band audio, audio for everyone is downgraded. Webex Meetings gives no warning message before the downgrade.

  • If you choose Call Me, you're prompted to enter your phone number.


    If you enabled Auto Call Me in your app's settings, you receive calls automatically.

  • If you choose Call In, you're prompted to enter the call-in number that appears. Tap Global Call-In Numbers to view a list of call-in numbers from other regions.

If you're using iOS 11 or later, you can switch between your connected audio during a meeting. For example, you can use a Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth speaker, or your device's speaker.

Join Calls and Meetings Using Apple CarPlay

You can use cars that support Apple CarPlay to access Webex Meetings from your car dashboard. Use our Siri voice commands to join Webex meetings, such as "Join next meeting using Webex."

CarPlay is fully supported for SmartDeviceLink (SDL)-supported and non-SDL-supported cars. You can join meetings from your car dashboard using Siri voice commands, and then see a full in-meeting Webex user interface on your dashboard. Mute, unmute, and leave meeting capabilities are available with CarPlay.


We disabled the Add Call button in the WBS39.6 update. Although the button is disabled, Apple CarPlay is available.

When using iOS 13, Siri voice commands on the car dashboard are only accessible while your device is unlocked. However, your device must be locked in order to see Webex Meetings on the car dashboard.

You can instantly connect your mobile device with a Cisco Webex cloud-registered or on-premises video device by using the Webex Meetings mobile app.

Enable or Disable Automatic Detection of Nearby Video Devices

By default, your app automatically tries to discover and connect with nearby video devices. You can change this setting so that you have to manually connect to a device every time.

You can change these settings by going to Settings > Device, and then tap Discover Devices to enable or disable automatic detection of nearby video devices.


If you have automatic detection enabled, you can choose whether to Always Show or Connect to Show if a video device is connected.

Manually Connect to a Nearby Video Device

You can manually connect with a video device even if you're connected to another device or have automatic connection disabled.

Open the app and tap Connect to a Device . Then, tap on the video device's name to connect to it.


If you're already connected to a video device, you can tap the device name and then tap Use a Different Device. If the device you want to connect to isn't appearing in the list, tap Enter Device Name and search for the device's name.

Share Content to a Device

Similar to the Webex Meetings desktop app, you can share your screen to a video device directly from your mobile app.
