Energy supply
Webex detects your country or geographic region, and retrieves a 24-hour carbon intensity forecast of the electricity supply using data from Electricity Maps.
No personal identifying information is shared with Electricity Maps.
Energy use
During a meeting or call, if your electricity supply comes primarily from high carbon-intensity energy sources (less than 50% from fossil-free sources), Webex uses a maximum video resolution of 360p.
Software updates
If the electricity supply at your location comes primarily from high carbon-intensity energy sources (less than 50% from fossil-free sources), Webex defers available software updates. When the energy supply shifts to low-carbon sources (at least 50% from fossil-free sources), Webex retrieves, and applies the update.
Webex defers non-urgent updates for a maximum of 24 hours.

When using a virtual private network (VPN), it can make it difficult for Webex App to accurately determine your geographic region, and Carbon aware mode may not function correctly.
-
On desktop, if you select Optimize video in one-to-one meetings and calls, Webex App utilizes 360p video for both participants on a call, even if they haven't selected this option.
-
On Web, Webex utilizes 360p video for the send resolution only, on your meetings or calls.

-
If you've already selected 360p camera resolution in your Webex App video settings, the Optimize video in one-to-one meetings and calls option won't apply.
