What is Cisco WebEx?
Cisco WebEx is a video conferencing cloud-based collaboration suite that includes software such as WebEx Meetings, WebEx Teams, and WebEx Devices.
The app creates an immersive experience, making participants feel as if they’re right in the room with those they’re meeting, even when they are miles apart. Additionally, unlike other conferencing apps, Cisco WebEx provides a pre-meeting experience that streamlines the process, enabling users to schedule and join meetings more quickly than ever.
You can open the app anytime to launch your meetings or simply explore its features. Additionally, you can navigate to the meetings tab, where you’ll find all your upcoming meetings pulled directly from your calendar. Joining from the app now provides the fastest way to enter a meeting on your desktop.
Once you’re in the meeting, the first thing you’ll notice is the all-new video-centric experience, featuring face-to-face HD video meetings. By default, the app displays a full-screen video of the active speaker, accompanied by thumbnails of other participants at the bottom. If you wish to change this layout, you can select a new control option. For instance, you can choose to focus solely on the active speaker or switch to a grid view, which allows you to see up to 25 participants at a time.
What else does Cisco WebEx offer?
WebEx Teams serves as Cisco’s primary platform for cloud-based modern team collaboration, encompassing file sharing, screen sharing, whiteboarding, meetings, and much more. While it may initially appear to be a simple rebranding, Cisco has demonstrated that significantly more functionality exists under the hood.
This software provides a persistent virtual meeting room that facilitates collaboration for both in-office and remote teams. Furthermore, although WebEx Teams primarily operates as a cloud-based service, it also supports hybrid and on-premises systems.
In addition, the software effectively addresses security concerns related to guest accounts and the accidental or deliberate sharing of company information. With built-in B2B collaboration features, users can seamlessly work with colleagues inside and outside the company from the same application, thus eliminating the need for IT assistance. Notably, WebEx stands out as the industry’s first team collaboration solution that enables secure multi-company collaboration.
WebEx Meetings
WebEx Meetings is Cisco’s cloud-based web and video conferencing service, designed to enable global and virtual teams to collaborate in real time on mobile devices or any standards-based video systems. This software offers a variety of features, including screen sharing, meeting recording, customizable layouts, and meeting broadcasting.
Furthermore, sharing your screen has never been easier. You can share your desktop, application, or file during the video conference. Additionally, you can initiate a brainstorming session or collaborate on a whiteboard. Moreover, WebEx Meetings provides personal rooms that users can customize, schedule for meetings, or leave open for ad hoc discussions.
