Cisco Webex Updates

Cisco Webex continues to stretch the boundaries of remote working. With the current situation still resulting in professionals working from home or other places, a reliable video and web conferencing application is important. Cisco Webex understands this and their latest updates will make sure your experience is above industry standards. 

IMPROVED CALLING EXPERIENCE

EXPRESS YOURSELF WITHOUT WORDS 

UAS Cisco Webex - Reactions

Animated reactions are now part of our daily lives. We do not need to say one word to who we are talking to for us to express what we are feeling. Cisco Webex has also adapted this feature to create more fun among interactions from the people in the meeting. 

Give a thumbs up, clap, celebrate with a party popper and other reactions are available to use. You can also enable Cisco Webex to recognize your hand gestures so when you put your thumbs up in front of the screen, it does that in the chat as well! 

THE POWER OF WHITEBOARD IN MEETINGS 

When people had a meeting in the office, the whiteboard was the most used space where everyone could write and present. Cisco Webex now has updated their platform where there is a whiteboard available for use and everyone can collaborate by writing and displaying what they need for everyone to see. 

It’s a very convenient way to express what you want to show if you have a difficult time explaining it through video conference.
