Turn On or Turn Off Cisco Webex Assistant During a Webex Meeting

Webex Assistant for Meetings is an intelligent, interactive virtual meeting assistant that makes meetings searchable, actionable, and more productive. When Webex Assistant is turned on, the meeting host and participants can capture meeting highlights, such as action items, with one click or a voice command, and show captions so that no one misses a word of what's being said. Record the meeting to get a post-meeting transcript.

Webex Assistant is available in Webex Meetings version 40.4 and later.

This feature requires Cisco Webex video platform version 2.0 with joining meetings from video systems enabled. To find out which version you’re using, see Find Your Cisco Webex Meetings Version Number.

If the Webex Assistant is enabled on your Webex site, meetings hosts can turn on or turn off the Webex Assistant during the meeting. To automatically turn on the Webex Assistant whenever you start a meeting, check the Webex Assistant option in your Scheduling preferences.
