Overview
Your Webex service will be upgraded to the Latest release 43.12 according to the Cisco Webex maintenance schedule.
Summary of the upcoming release is below.
For users
Pre-meeting experience
- New scheduler user interface and behaviors. Previously, when you clicked Schedule a meeting on Web Webex App (https://web.webex.com), it redirected users to the Webex site page for scheduling meetings, since Web Webex App doesn't have its own built-in meeting scheduler.
In this feature, Web Webex app has implemented this functionality, so you can schedule meetings within the Web Webex app, creating a user experience that is consistent with the Desktop Webex app.
- New UI and Behaviors:
1. New UI align with desktop meeting scheduler.
2. New Behaviors same as desktop meeting scheduler.
The new layout consists of three parts:
• Basic settings
• Advanced settings
• Invitees and free or busy calendar (available for hybrid user).
In the left-to-right layout, we can see the basic meeting settings on the left side of the main view, the invitees, and free/busy calendar on the right side, the advanced settings on the bottom left corner.
The position of several options have also been changed compared to previous experience.
New design:
1. Basic settings: When you click on Schedule a meeting from the web app, it opens up the in-built app scheduler.
2. Advanced settings: You find three tabs here, Security Options, Audio Options, and Schedule Options.
3. Free-Busy calendar: This layout also brings in a new feature the Free-Busy calendar. This feature is only applicable for hybrid users. It improves the user experience and helps find an available slot more efficiently and faster.
Description:
• When you’re scheduling a meeting and using the free-busy calendar to find an available slot, for any slot that has unavailable invitees, the calendar provides a way to click on that time slot and view the list of those unavailable invitees.
• The calendar also displays the day of the week in the free-busy calendar.
• You can drag the time picker slot to change the meeting time. Expand and collapse the time picker slot to change meeting start time and end time.
