Aplikácia Webex | O platforme na stretnutia Webex Suite

Funkcie, ktoré boli predtým dostupné z panela s ponukami, sú teraz viac kontextové a distribuované v rámci stretnutia. V ovládacích prvkoch schôdze sa pozrite do časti Možnosti zvuku, Možnosti videa, Zdieľať obsah a Ďalšie možnosti , kde nájdete niektoré kľúčové akcie. .

Nasledujúce obrázky vám ukážu, kde nájdete funkcie v novom prostredí. Ak hľadáte konkrétne nastavenie, prečítajte si tabuľku nižšie, ktorá mapuje staré cesty ponuky k novým ovládacím prvkom. Môžete tiež použiť navigáciu pomocou klávesnice a skratky , aby ste ušetrili čas a znížili počet kliknutí myšou.

Ukážte mi nové ovládacie prvky

Optimalizovali sme umiestnenie najobľúbenejších možností na paneli s ponukami. Teraz máte prístup k možnostiam z ponúk Zdieľať, Zobraziť, Zvuk a video, Účastník a Schôdza priamo z ovládacích prvkov schôdze.

Napríklad prejdite do časti Nastavenia zvuku z rozbaľovacej ponuky Možnosti zvuku v . Prejdite do časti Nastavenia videa z rozbaľovacej ponuky Možnosti videa v .

Prejdite na položku Ďalšie možnosti v ovládacích prvkoch schôdze, aby ste získali prístup k možnostiam schôdze a povolili oddelené relácie.

Odkaz na panel ponuky

Neoverení účastníci

Teraz sa vo vstupnej hale aj na paneli Účastníci vedľa mien účastníkov, ktorí nie sú prihlásení do Webexu, zobrazuje Neoverené . Toto vylepšenie vám umožní jednoducho identifikovať účastníkov, ktorých identitu aplikácia nemohla overiť.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Zistite, koho povoľujete na schôdzu Webex.

Indikátory zvuku a videa

Keď účastníci zapnú svoje video, budú ľahko viditeľní vo videách účastníkov. Indikátory videa v zozname účastníkov teda nie sú také užitočné a v platforme stretnutí Webex Suite sme ich odstránili.

Keď má niekto vypnutý zvuk, na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite sa vedľa mena danej osoby nezobrazí ikona . Avšak; keď je niekto stlmený, vedľa jeho mena sa zobrazuje ikona . A ak účastník nie je na schôdzi pripojený k zvuku, v zozname účastníkov na platforme schôdzok Webex Suite sa vedľa jeho mena zobrazuje ikona .

Na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite zoznam účastníkov neobsahuje indikátory, ako napríklad , ktoré by ukazovali spôsob pripojenia účastníkov k zvuku.

Karty kontaktov na stretnutiach

Počas stretnutia môžete umiestniť kurzor myši na profilový obrázok niekoho v zozname účastníkov a zobraziť jeho kartu kontaktu.

Na schôdzi a Nie na schôdzi

V prípade plánovaných stretnutí má zoznam účastníkov sekcie s názvom Na schôdzi a Nie na schôdzi. Tieto sekcie vám umožňujú jednoducho zistiť, ktorí účastníci sa už k schôdzi pripojili a ktorí ľudia sú pozvaní, ale ešte sa nepripojili.

V časti Nie som na schôdzi sa nezobrazujú tieto informácie:

• Ľudia pozvaní na stretnutie, ktorí nemajú účet Webex.
• Ľudia, ktorí boli pozvaní zo schôdze , ale ešte sa nepripojili.

Účastníci, ktorí sa pripájajú z viacerých zariadení

V zozname účastníkov sa raz zobrazí prihlásený používateľ, aj keď sa pripojí z viacerých zariadení. To umožňuje jednoduchšiu správu používateľov konsolidáciou ich viacerých inštancií pripojenia do jedného účastníka.

Možnosti zoznamu účastníkov

Možnosti v zozname účastníkov sú prehľadnejšie. Ak hľadáte konkrétnu možnosť, prečítajte si nasledujúcu tabuľku, ktorá mapuje staré možnosti ponuky po kliknutí pravým tlačidlom myši na nové ovládacie prvky.

Väčšina ľudí sa pripája k schôdzi bez stlmenia. Ak teda na novej platforme schôdzok niekomu zrušíte stlmenie, vedľa mena danej osoby sa nezobrazí znak . Avšak; keď je niekto stlmený, vedľa jeho mena sa zobrazí ikona . Vďaka tomu je oveľa jednoduchšie prehľadať zoznam účastníkov, aby ste videli ľudí, ktorí si stlmili zvuk.

Panely fungujú inak, keď ste na novej platforme.

Namiesto otvárania viacerých panelov a využívania cenného priestoru na obrazovke teraz otvárate jeden panel po druhom a ostatné sa zrútia. Ak ich chcete vidieť spolu, zobrazíte viaceré panely.

Panel účastníkov zobrazuje nielen účastníkov, ktorí sú na schôdzi , ale aj ľudí, ktorí sú pozvaní, ale ešte sa na schôdzi nezúčastňujú . Panel účastníkov je teraz viac zameraný na používateľa, takže používateľ je uvedený iba raz, aj keď sa pripája z viacerých zariadení.

Možnosti schôdze sú zjednodušené a súvisiace položky ponuky sú odstránené z ponuky po kliknutí pravým tlačidlom na paneli účastníkov.

Panel prehliadača multimédií

Panel Multimedia Viewer nie je dostupný na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite. Namiesto toho zdieľajte multimédiá zdieľaním obrazovky alebo aplikácie a výberom položiek Optimalizovať pre pohyb a video a Zdieľať zvuk počítača.

Ak ste na skryté titulky alebo živé tlmočenie použili panel Zobrazovač multimédií, zobrazte skryté titulky alebo použite simultánne tlmočenie, ktoré umožní účastníkom vypočuť si prezentáciu v preferovanom jazyku.

Ak ste na program schôdze použili panel Zobrazovač multimédií, pridajte svoj program do rozhovoru počas schôdze.

Panel poznámok

Panel Poznámky nie je k dispozícii na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite. Namiesto toho získajte písomnú kópiu zvuku stretnutia: buď získajte prepis po schôdzi zaznamenaním schôdze alebo stiahnite prepis schôdze bez zaznamenania schôdze.

Vyťažte zo stretnutia viac pomocou četu a súborov počas stretnutia

Zorganizujte produktívne stretnutie zdieľaním programu stretnutia, poznámok a súhrnu v čete. Aj keď sa k schôdzi pripojíte neskoro, môžete to jednoducho dobehnúť tak, že uvidíte rozhovor schôdze od začiatku schôdze. Zapojte sa a vyjadrite sa pomocou značiek, reakcií alebo obrázkov GIF.

Vaša organizácia si môže vybrať, či sa rozhovor po stretnutí automaticky uloží alebo vymaže. Ak je rozhovor uložený, po skončení stretnutia ho znova navštívte a zdieľajte ho . Momentálne nie je možné stiahnuť rozhovor počas stretnutia. Ak chcete uložiť kópiu četu počas stretnutia mimo aplikácie, vyberte počas stretnutia celý čet a potom ho skopírujte a prilepte do dokumentu.

Pridajte k schôdzi súbory , aby všetci účastníci mohli jednoducho vidieť všetky súbory schôdze na jednom mieste. Každý si môže stiahnuť súbory, ktoré zdieľate. Aj keď sa niekto pripojí k schôdzi neskoro, má prístup k súborom. Hostitelia a spoloční hostitelia môžu vypnúť možnosť pridávať súbory pre každého v ktorejkoľvek fáze schôdze.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Rozhovor na schôdzi alebo oddelenej relácii.

Prístup k správam po skončení stretnutia

Po skončení schôdze sa konverzácia schôdze zatvorí, ale uložíme správy s obsahom schôdze. Znova navštívte chat alebo ho zdieľajte s ostatnými. Môžete si odkázať na poznámky zo schôdze, otázky a akčné položky pre následné kroky.

Ak chcete, vaša organizácia sa môže rozhodnúť neukladať správy s obsahom schôdze.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Prístup k správam po stretnutí.

Pošlite správu na stretnutie

Ak ste pozvaní na stretnutie, ale nepripojili ste sa k nemu, stále môžete četovať s každým účastníkom stretnutia. Ak napríklad meškáte na stretnutie, dajte vedieť účastníkom, ktorí sa už pripojili, že sa tam čoskoro dostavíte.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Odoslanie správy účastníkom schôdze bez pripojenia k schôdzi.

Teraz vám poskytujeme prieskumy a otázky a odpovede prostredníctvom Slido.

Ak chcete otvoriť aplikáciu Slido, v ovládacích prvkoch schôdze kliknite na položku Aplikácie > Slido.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Ankety v Slido a Otázky a odpovede v Slido.

V zozname účastníkov sa raz zobrazí prihlásený používateľ, aj keď sa pripojí z viacerých zariadení. To umožňuje jednoduchšiu správu používateľov konsolidáciou ich viacerých inštancií pripojenia do jedného účastníka.

Presuňte schôdzu z jedného počítača alebo mobilného zariadenia do druhého

Bezproblémovo presuňte schôdzu z jedného počítača alebo mobilného zariadenia na druhé bez prerušenia alebo odpojenia od stretnutia. Ak napríklad dochádzate do práce a pripojíte sa k schôdzi na svojom mobilnom zariadení, presuňte schôdzu do svojho notebooku, keď sa dostanete do kancelárie.

Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Presunutie schôdze do iného počítača alebo mobilného zariadenia.

Webex VDI plug-in

Ak sa k vašim stretnutiam pripájajú používatelia VDI na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite, uistite sa, že majú doplnok Webex VDI.

Možnosti schôdze a privilégiá účastníkov

Keď naplánujete stretnutie na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite v aplikácii Webex, môžete nastaviť iba nasledujúce možnosti stretnutia:

• Zabráňte všetkým účastníkom zapnúť svoje video
• Vypnúť čet pre všetkých účastníkov
• Zabráňte všetkým účastníkom, okrem prezentujúceho, pridávať a sťahovať súbory

Keď však naplánujete schôdzu z používateľského centra alebo vašej lokality Webex, môžete nastaviť možnosti schôdze uvedené vyššie a nasledujúce oprávnenia účastníka:

• Vypnite zdieľanie obsahu
• Vypnite zoznam účastníkov

Na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite nepodporujeme privilégiá jednotlivých účastníkov.

Počas schôdze môžete tiež nastaviť možnosti schôdze a privilégiá účastníkov uvedené vyššie a nastaviť ďalšie možnosti a privilégiá, napríklad vypnúť reakcie. Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Aplikácia Webex | Nastavenie možností schôdze a oprávnení účastníkov ako hostiteľa alebo spoluhostiteľa.

Riešenie dočasných súborov (TFS)

Nemôžete sa pripojiť k schôdzi na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite pomocou klienta schôdze TFS. Namiesto toho sa pripojte k stretnutiam pomocou webového klienta.

Oznámte vstupný a výstupný tón mena

Možnosť Oznámiť meno nie je k dispozícii na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite. Namiesto toho prehrajte zvuk upozornenia, keď sa účastník pripojí k schôdzi alebo ju opustí a upravte zobrazované meno účastníkov, ktorí sa pripájajú iba telefonicky, aby sa nezobrazovali ako volajúci používateľ .

Alternatívne môžu hostitelia naplánovať stretnutie pomocou autentifikácie ANI/CLI, ktorá umožňuje identifikovať telefónne čísla účastníkov na stretnutí s ich identitou. Účastníci musia zadať telefónne číslo na overenie volania. Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Použitie overenia ANI/CLI na zvukové pripojenie na stretnutiach a udalostiach Webex.

Zavolajte z inej aplikácie

Možnosť Zavolať z inej aplikácie nie je dostupná na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite. Namiesto toho manuálne skopírujte a prilepte telefónne číslo do aplikácie tretej strany.

Overenie telefónu Access Anywhere

Na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite nie je pre Access Anywhere podporované overenie telefónu. Namiesto toho použite overenie heslom.

Počas stretnutia ukážte svoju prednú a zadnú kameru súčasne

Na iPhone nemôžete počas schôdze na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite zobraziť prednú a zadnú kameru súčasne. Namiesto toho sa pripojte k schôdzi z dvoch mobilných zariadení a zdieľajte pomocou jednej alebo druhej kamery. Uistite sa, že je vaša predvoľba presunu schôdze nastavená na možnosť Vždy sa znova pripojiť.

Pozvite ľudí a informujte hostiteľa

Po začatí okamžitej schôdze je ľahké pozvať ľudí, aby sa pripojili k schôdzi, priamo z okna schôdze.

Odstránili sme tlačidlo Upozorniť hostiteľa , pretože hostiteľa automaticky upozorníme, ak čakáte vo vstupnej hale. Nemusíte upozorňovať hostiteľa a hostiteľ nemusí kontrolovať jeho e-maily.

Zvýraznenie manuálu Webex Assistant

Na platforme stretnutí Webex Suite nepodporujeme manuálne vytváranie zvýraznení. Namiesto toho vytvárajte zvýraznenia pomocou hlasových príkazov.

Keď počas stretnutia robíte viac vecí naraz

Keď je okno minimalizované alebo zakryté inými aplikáciami, nad ostatnými aplikáciami, ktoré ste otvorili, sa zobrazí plávajúce mini okno. To vám umožní sledovať, čo sa deje na stretnutí. Ak sa chcete jednoducho vrátiť na schôdzu, kliknite kdekoľvek v plávajúcom mini okne.

Rozloženie a priblíženie

Urobili sme niekoľko zmien, aby sme zlepšili vaše skúsenosti a zlepšili pracovný postup počas stretnutia. Tlačidlá Rozloženie a Lupa sú vhodne umiestnené, takže môžete prepínať na iné rozloženia alebo zobraziť viac účastníkov.

V rozložení zobrazenia mriežky použite ovládacie prvky navigácie na rýchly prechod z jednej stránky na druhú alebo na skok späť na prvú stranu účastníkov.

Synchronizácia javiska

Zjednodušili sme synchronizáciu javiska. Potom, čo hostiteľ synchronizuje scénu, účastníci nemôžu prispôsobiť scénu a upraviť proporcie scény. Účastníci teraz vždy uvidia pohľad, ktorý im hostiteľ zamýšľal vidieť.

Telekonferenčná služba

Typ zvukového pripojenia Iná telekonferenčná služba nie je podporovaný.

Po naplánovaní stretnutia pošlite pozvaným e-mailom alebo textovou správou číslo telekonferencie a pokyny. Záznam stretnutia nebude mať zvuk.

Stretnutia iba so zvukom

Osobné konferencie a schôdze len so zvukom nie sú podporované.

Ak chcete začať schôdzu len so zvukom, začnite plánovanú schôdzu telefonicky.

Pripojte sa pred hostiteľom

Možnosť zabrániť účastníkom pripojiť sa k zvuku pred začiatkom schôdze už nefunguje. Všetky stretnutia majú zvuk, vrátane stretnutí, ktoré umožňujú účastníkom pripojiť sa pred začiatkom stretnutia.

Autentifikácia Access Anywhere

Overenie telefónu Access Anywhere nie je podporované.

Použite overenie hesla pre prístup kdekoľvek.

Maximálna dĺžka trvania stretnutia

Stretnutia majú časový limit 24 hodín.

Spätné videohovory na video zariadenia

Pripojenie k schôdzi pomocou spätného volania na adresu videa SIP (napríklad <room_video_address>@example.com) nie je k dispozícii.

Alternatívne je aplikácia Webex schopná po spárovaní rozpoznať schôdzky a pripojiť sa k nim pomocou blízkych videozariadení Cisco založených na RoomOS. Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Aplikácia Webex | Pripojenie k zariadeniu z aplikácie pre počítač a mobilnej aplikácie.

Vo vyhradenom paneli v aplikácii Webex sú k dispozícii bohatšie ovládacie prvky zariadenia. Pomocou ovládacieho panela zariadenia môžete stlmiť alebo zapnúť zvuk, zastaviť alebo spustiť video, upraviť hlasitosť na zariadení a ovládať, či sa má zobraziť video účastníka v aplikácii aj na zariadení. Ďalšie informácie nájdete v časti Webex App | Ovládací panel zariadenia.

Ak nemáte prístup k videozariadeniu Cisco a chcete sa pripojiť k schôdzi, zadajte adresu videa schôdze (napríklad 987654321@company.webex.com) vo vlastnom používateľskom rozhraní zariadenia a zavolajte na stretnutie.

Instant Help

The in-meeting Instant Help feature is no longer available. Contact Webex Support for any issues or questions encountered during a meeting.

Choose whether to show your Webex App when sharing your screen—Windows and Mac

We now show your Webex App windows, by default, when you share your screen in a meeting. In earlier releases, Webex App was hidden by default. So, if you don’t want the other meeting participants to see Webex App when you share your screen, make sure you hide it.

We made showing or hiding the app more convenient by adding these two new ways:

• Before the meeting starts, go to Settings > Sharing content and check or uncheck Show my Webex app.
• When you share your screen, check or uncheck Show my Webex app in the lower left of the Share content dialog.

These methods are in addition to the option to click More sharing options on the share control bar and check or uncheck Show my Webex app.

See Webex App | Include Webex App when sharing your screen

Cisco AI Codec—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

We’ve improved audio quality in poor network conditions with Cisco AI Codec! When you have low bandwidth and high packet loss, audio is choppy and difficult to hear. AI Codec encodes at low bit rates and increases redundancies, providing better resiliency and audio quality.

AI Codec is being rolled out to Webex now.

In-meeting chat support for Apple Vision Pro

Great news for Apple Vision Pro users! You can now chat during meetings right within the app. You can chat with everyone or one-on-one. Tap Chat on the right of the video grid.

You can pop out the in-meeting chat window and place it anywhere you like on the infinite canvas.

See Webex App | Use Webex on Apple Vision Pro

Let others know when you step away from the meeting—Windows and Mac

If you need to answer the doorbell or grab a glass of water, now you can give the other participants a heads up. Manually set your status to Stepped away or set the app to automatically switch to Stepped away when you move away from your camera for a while.

When you step away, we mute your microphone, turn off your video, and replace your profile picture with an image of a hot beverage and the text, Stepped away. This lets other participants know you're temporarily away from the meeting.

See Webex App | Step away from a meeting

Easily switch between multiple shared files and a whiteboard during a meeting—Windows and Mac

If you're juggling multiple shared files or bouncing between a whiteboard and the files, things just got a whole lot smoother. Now you can seamlessly switch between different shared files on the fly, without interrupting your presentation.

When you're ready to switch to another file or the whiteboard, click You're sharing… above the shared content.

See Webex App | Switch between shared files and a whiteboard during a meeting

We changed the default value of "Connect to audio without pressing 1"—Windows and Mac

Great news for those who use the Call me option for audio during meetings on Windows and Mac. You no longer have to check Connect to audio without pressing 1. This option is now checked by default. Enjoy your meetings with one less click.

Annotate on camera content shared during a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

Now, when someone shares their camera in a meeting, both the presenter and other participants can annotate on the shared content.

You or the presenter can save a PDF snapshot of the annotations.

When you share a camera, you control who can annotate. Allow all participants to annotate, have others ask for approval to annotate, or block all requests so only you can annotate.

See Webex App | Mark up shared content with annotations

Annotate on files shared during a meeting—iPhone, iPad, and Android

When someone shares a file from a mobile device, you see a preview of that file. Now, you can also annotate on what you see. You or the presenter can save a PDF of the annotated view at any time.

You or the presenter can save a PDF copy of the file that includes all the annotations.

See Webex App | Mark up shared content with annotations

Start multiple calls or meetings simultaneously from Webex App—Windows VDI and Mac VDI

Good news for multitaskers. With the latest update on Webex App VDI, you can make or answer calls right in the middle of a meeting. Or, if you're already on a call, you can hop into a meeting whenever you need to.

And there's more: The performance on your thin client just got a turbo boost. We're talking smoother experiences with CPU, GPU, and memory usage slashed to just a third of what they used to be.

Hear a beep when you mute or unmute yourself—Windows VDI and Mac VDI

The beep provides confirmation that you muted or unmuted yourself. Only you can hear the sound. Not other meeting participants. If you prefer, turn off the beep.

See Webex App | Turn off the beep you hear when you mute or unmute yourself

Keep your meetings and calls going smoothly in Webex App—Windows VDI and Mac VDI

When you're in a meeting or on a call, Webex App prevents sleep mode activation for your virtual desktop (HVD) server or thin client. This makes sure you have a stable and continuous connection throughout the duration of your meeting or call, without interruption.

No more worrying about warning messages for version mismatches in the Health Checker—Windows VDI and Mac VDI

Now, if the Webex App version on your hosted virtual desktop (HVD) and the plug-in version on your thin client play well together, you see a friendly green check mark in the Health Checker—even if they're not the exact same version.

We’re launching a new experience to share files—Windows VDI and Mac VDI

• Present with ease when multiple presenters take turns—It can be time consuming to transition among presenters when you’re taking turns to present content in a slide deck. Our new Take control feature makes it easy for multiple presenters to transition seamlessly when they present.
• Catch-up on what’s presented during a meeting—As an attendee, sometimes you want to go back to a previous slide or read ahead. Now you can, without interrupting the presenter. Switch back to the presenter view when you’re ready.

See Webex App | Answer a call to your video address during a meeting

AI Assistant in meetings—Windows and Mac

Sometimes you may join a meeting late, need to step away for a moment, or you're multitasking and get distracted. With AI Assistant, you can now quickly catch up on what you've missed with meeting summaries, understand what's being discussed, ask questions without disturbing the meeting, and stay on top of the conversation. You also receive a summary and transcript after the meeting, without having to record.

AI Assistant is only available on the Webex Suite meeting platform. Your administrator must also have this feature enabled. It will be on a delayed release schedule.

See Webex App | Cisco AI Assistant in meetings

See higher resolution video thumbnails in meetings—Windows and Mac

In stack and side-by-side layouts, when you drag the resize handle between the video thumbnails and the stage, the app now dynamically adjusts the size of the thumbnails to accommodate higher resolution videos.

See Webex App | Change your video layout during a meeting

External USB camera support—iPad

Great news if you're using Webex App on your iPad—it now supports USB-C external cameras. All you need is to be running iPadOS 17 or later, and you can hook up an external USB camera.

We changed the default panel behavior in the Cisco predefined Session Type "Pro Meeting" with ID = 3—Windows and Mac

Before this release, the panels were set to Open by default. To make the meeting interface more streamlined, we’ve now set the panels to Closed by default.

This is because we’ve changed the default behavior of the panels in the Cisco predefined Session Type "Pro Meeting" with ID = 3. You can think of a Session Type as a meeting template that your Webex administrator uses.

If your organization uses other Session Types or custom Session Types, nothing’s changing there. And the default behavior of all existing custom Session Types doesn’t change either.

Enhance your annotation experience by using the text tool—Windows VDI, Mac VDI, iPhone, iPad, and Android

Protect your organization's content by adding watermarks to participant videos and shared content—Windows and Mac

Deter participants from leaking meeting information. As a meeting host, have Webex superimpose a watermark image pattern over all the meeting video and shared content. Each participant who views the meeting sees a watermark image pattern with their own email address. If the participant isn’t signed into Webex, the watermark image pattern includes their display name and their email address. Your organization can choose to add the meeting number as part of the watermark.

You pick the opacity of the watermark, so that the image pattern is an effective deterrent but doesn’t cause too much distraction.

When you add visual watermarks, your organization may prevent recording the meeting.

See Webex App| Add visual watermarks to shared content in a meeting

Use Webex smart audio on macOS Sonoma

In macOS Sonoma (macOS 14), Apple added Mic Modes to the main system bar when there’s an active microphone. This feature appears on Mac models from 2018 and later.

Mic Modes take effect before the audio is provided to Webex App and can conflict with your smart audio settings. To ensure the best audio quality, we recommend you use Standard mic mode with Webex App and control your microphone optimizations with our smart audio settings.
