For users
- Alphabetical sorting makes it easier to find the app you want to share—Windows and Mac
In the share dialog, you can now sort applications either alphabetically or by last used.
You can also hide the Sharing options panel on the right of the sharing dialog to make more room for additional applications to appear.
See Webex App | Share content in a meeting.
- Share and interact with 3D objects in Webex meetings on Apple Vision Pro
Now, you can share 3D objects in USDZ file format, a standard for AR and spatial computing. Once shared, you can move, rotate, and resize the 3D object using simple hand gestures.
This makes it easy to explore and present your designs in a whole new way.
See Share a 3D model in a meeting on your Vision Pro.
- Webex supports sign language interpretation in webinars—Windows VDI and Mac VDI
Host more inclusive, accessible webinars by including sign language interpretation. When you schedule a webinar or during a webinar, select a sign language channel and assign interpreters.
If you're a webinar participant who's deaf or hard of hearing, select the sign language channel in the webinar. Then, view the interpreter on the stage or, on desktop, you can pop out sign language interpreter’s video and resize it or move it to another screen.
Interpreters can view the participants who select their sign language channel, either on the stage or, on desktop, in a separate window.
- Suppress background noise in calls and meetings—Linux
Background noise, like a barking dog or construction sounds, can distract others during your calls and meetings. With our Smart audio feature, you now have four options to suppress unwanted noise and help ensure important sounds come through clearly:
Noise removal—Remove all noises
Optimize for my voice—Remove all noise and background voices
Optimize for all voices—Removes all noise and enhances nearby voices
Music mode—Optimizes the audio for vocal and instrumental music
See Webex App | Remove background noise and speech in calls and meetings.
- Guest users now join meetings faster—Windows and Mac
Previously, joining a meeting as a guest required three separate steps: clicking Join as a guest, entering your name and email, and then clicking Join meeting, each on a different page.
Now, you’re taken straight to the meeting preview page, where you can join the meeting with just one click. If you’d rather sign in, simply use the link below the Join button. For meetings that require your email, you’ll see a pop-up asking for it before you reach the preview page.
See Webex App | Join a meeting as a guest.
- Look your best, every time you’re on camera—Windows and Mac
With the AI-powered Touch up my look enhancement, add a gentle smoothing effect and softer focus to your video during calls and meetings. This feature helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, and uneven skin texture—so you can always feel camera-ready.
You’ll still look like yourself: Touch up my look doesn’t change your facial features, skin tone, or unique appearance. It simply gives you a subtle, refreshed polish, as if you’d had a little extra rest. Key benefits:
Instant confidence: Feel comfortable turning on your camera, even on your busiest days.
Adjustable: Use the slider in your video settings to pick the level of enhancement you prefer—from a light touch-up to a more polished look.
Natural results: Enjoy a subtle, consistent effect that works well in any lighting, for all skin tones and types.
No distortion: Your features stay true to you—just smoother-looking skin without any unnatural blurring or loss of detail.
See Webex App | Touch up your appearance in calls and meetings.
- Share dialog has a fresh new look—Windows and Mac
You'll notice a cleaner design with all your sharing options neatly arranged on the right side. Plus, there's a big, easy-to-spot Share button right in the center, making it even simpler to share.
- Easily find the app or screen that you want to share—Windows
If you open another app after the Share content dialog box is already open, the dialog now automatically refreshes to show the new app. Similarly, if you connect a different monitor, the dialog now updates to display the new screen available for sharing. No need to close and reopen the Share content dialog box.
See Webex App | Share content in a meeting.
- Share AI-generated meeting summaries without recording—Windows and Mac
Before you start a meeting, you can select to share meeting content, and enable AI Assistant, from your User Hub settings. Then all meeting invitees will automatically receive an AI-generated meeting summary by email after the meeting ends - even if the meeting wasn't recorded.
- Search your meeting recordings with AI Assistant—Windows and Mac
You can now ask questions about your meeting recordings with Cisco AI Assistant!
Go ahead and ask it anything – like for a quick summary of a recording, or even about specific topics discussed. AI Assistant will pull information directly from your meeting recordings to give you answers in your summary.
See Search your meeting recordings with Cisco AI Assistant.
- It's easier to give participants access to your whiteboards after the meeting ends—Windows and Mac
When you open a whiteboard during a meeting, everyone can work on it together. But once the meeting ends, only you, as the whiteboard owner, can access it—unless you share it with each person individually. Now, sharing is much easier:
If you open an existing private whiteboard during a meeting: Webex asks if you want all participants to access the whiteboard after the meeting. By default, everyone in the meeting can view and edit the whiteboard during and after the meeting.
If you create a new whiteboard during a meeting: Webex automatically gives everyone access to view and edit the whiteboard during and after the meeting.
If you want to change who can access your whiteboard, you can do this anytime before you close it. Click Share on the whiteboard canvas to open the Share whiteboard dialog and manage participant access.
See Start and share a whiteboard in a meeting.
- Automatically enable AI Assistant when recording is turned on—Windows and Mac
You can now set AI Assistant to automatically start, when you click 'Record' in your meetings. This simplifies the process and makes it easier to turn on AI Assistant.
This feature needs to be enabled by your organization administrator.
See Enable Cisco AI Assistant in meetings.
- View your meetings in a space—iOS and Android
You can now see all your meetings, that have been scheduled in a space. In a space, tap ... on iOS, or the three vertical dots on android, and then select Meetings.
Tap Calendar to view a full list of upcoming meetings, or tap Meeting recap to view previous meetings. Plus, you can quickly schedule a new meeting directly from this page with the Schedule a meeting button.
Stay connected and keep your team on track with streamlined scheduling—all within your Webex space!
See View upcoming meetings for a space.
- Reminder to start AI Assistant in meetings—Windows and Mac
If AI Assistant doesn't start automatically, the meeting host gets a pop-up reminder, prompting them to start it manually. They also have the option to automatically share the meeting content after the meeting ends.
See Cisco AI Assistant in meetings.
- Auto-detection of spoken languages during a meeting—Desktop
With this feature, meetings have become even more user-friendly by automatically detecting the spoken language in real-time during a meeting—no need to manually select a language.
Behind the scenes, AI advanced language recognition system listens to the conversation and identifies what language participants are using. This allows AI Assistant to provide more accurate transcriptions and translations throughout your meeting. For now, the feature supports only one spoken language at a time.
This feature must be enabled by your organization administrator.
See Webex App | Auto-detection of spoken language.
- Copy meeting recording link in Webex App
Webex App will soon introduce a convenient option for users to easily copy recording links from meeting containers. Whether you own the meeting or it’s been shared with you, you’ll be able to discover and copy the recording link in just a few clicks—making it simple to share with colleagues, teams, clients, and partners both inside and outside your organization.
- Automatically turn off your camera and microphone when your screen locks—Windows and Mac
You can now set the app to automatically turn off your camera and microphone whenever your screen is locked. This helps keep your audio and video private while you’re away.
See Webex App | Turn off your camera and mic when your screen is locked.
- Share computer audio only in a meeting—Windows and Mac
You can now share just the audio from your computer—like background music or any other sound—without having to share your screen or an application.
During a meeting, click Share content > Advanced > Computer audio.
When you only share computer audio, you and the participants see a music note on the stage to let everyone know that audio is being shared.
See Webex App | Play background music or audio during a meeting without sharing content.
- See multiple camera angles at the same time from a conference room—Windows VDI and Mac VDI
During a meeting, you can now see up to two video streams simultaneously from the latest RoomOS devices. If the camera mode is set to Group & speaker, there are three or more people in the room, and one of them is speaking, you see both an overview of the room and a close-up of the person speaking.
Requirements: RoomOS 11.23 on Cisco Room Bar Pro, Cisco Board Pro G2, Cisco Codec Pro with Cisco Quad Camera, Cisco Room 70D G2, Cisco Codec EQ, or Cisco Room Kit EQX
