Cisco Webex
What is Cisco Webex?
Cisco Webex is a video conferencing cloud-based collaboration suite which is comprised of software including Webex Meetings, Webex Teams, and Webex Devices.
The app actually makes participants feel like they’re right in the room with the people they’re meeting with, even if everyone is actually far away. Unlike another conferencing app, Cisco Webex also includes a pre-meeting experience that makes scheduling and joining meetings much quicker than ever.
You can open the app anytime to launch your personal or just to browse through the app. You can also go through the meetings tab where you can see all of your upcoming meetings pulled directly from the calendar. Joining from the app is now the fastest way to go into a meeting on the desktop. In the meeting, the first thing you will notice is the all-new video-centric meeting experience that too face-to-face HD video meeting.
By default you will get a full-screen video of the active speaker and with the thumbnails of other persons along the bottom. If in case you need to change this, you can by new layout control to change the view. You can change the view solely on active speaker or you can also switch to grid view where you can see 25 participants at a time.
You can pin specific individuals chats and past presenter privileges simply by hovering over that participant. When the content is shared view will adjust it automatically putting the focus on the content, while still keeping the participant video on top. If you can change it to right, or left, or even at the bottom, you can easily do it by using layout settings.
If you want to have complete control, you can use a floating window view to scale each panel individually. For example, you can make the video panel as big you want or you can also move it to the secondary display. The centralized control bar puts the essential meeting feature directly at your fingertips in a consolidated location.
Ready to share the screen? The new share dialog shows the thumbnail previews of the screens and applications you have opened. This makes finding the content you want to share, quicker and more intuitive. Finally, if anytime you want to see any of the meeting numbers or any of the other info, that’s now located behind the info icon on your screen.
