The new RoomOS 11 UI Experience gives devices a modernized experience with an app centric navigation paradigm.
We wanted to expand the capabilities of our devices and make them into multiactivity devices which can cover all the needs in your workday. With this in mind, it was important to renew our user experience. One of the core changes is the operating system's ability to run multiple apps at the same time. You can easily switch between a web app, whiteboard, and your ongoing meeting.
RoomOS 11 experience is supported on Webex registered devices and devices that are linked with Edge for Devices with cloud-managed software upgrade enabled.
RoomOS 11 experience is not supported on:
-
Room USB
-
Webex on Flip
-
Room Panorama
