Adjust the lighting for your meetings—Windows and Mac

We all join meetings from different places—sometimes it's a dim room, other times it's right by a bright window. To help keep our faces evenly lit, we've introduced an intelligent relighting model.

It captures your image in real time and adjusts the lighting on your face directly through your device.

This feature is available only if your computer supports the app's intelligent lighting model. To turn on the feature, go to Settings > Video, and check Correct my lighting. It's turned on by default if you previously enabled automatic color boosting using the Adjust my video setting.

As the meeting host or cohost, during a meeting, you now have the option to allow manual captioning and assign any participant to type captions.

If you're given the captioner role, simply open the manual captioning window in the app and start typing. Participants on Webex App for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, and web can see the captions in real time as you type them.

If an AI-generated meeting summary is started in the meeting, you must stop it to allow manual captioning.

See your self view and the videos of other participants when you’re sharing content—Windows and Mac

When you’re sharing content in a meeting, the floating window now defaults to grid view instead of focus view. Grid view shows the active speaker and other meeting participants.

If you want to see your self view in the floating window too, go to Settings > Video and, under Self view in meetings, choose either Show with others or Show in floating window.

If you prefer to see the active speaker only in the floating window, switch to focus view.

Easily find the app or screen that you want to share—Windows and Mac

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.

Choose the correct audio device for meetings—Windows and Mac

To make it easier for you to select the right audio option for your meeting, we added the device type—Built-in, HDMI, USB, or Virtual—in parentheses next to the device name.

When you click Audio options a user interacting with the Mute button dropdown to access more audio options, you might notice that devices that don't produce sound are listed. For instance, if your monitor is connected to your computer through HDMI, it appears as one of the audio options. So now, if you see HDMI next to a device name, you can opt for a different audio option.

Improved label display for speaker and microphone audio devices—Windows, Mac, and Web

We've made it easier for you to see the names of your speaker and microphone devices. Previously, the default setting, Use system setting, cut off the full name of your audio devices. You had to hover over the label to see the complete name. Now, when you click Audio options a user interacting with the Mute button dropdown to access more audio options, the speaker or microphone device name shows on a separate line, under Follow system setting. This change makes it much easier to view the full names of your devices.

AI Assistant support for multiple languages—Windows and Mac

AI Assistant now supports multiple languages for in-meeting and post-meeting summaries and transcripts, for more inclusive and engaging meetings.

For example, if a meeting is conducted in Spanish (the spoken language for the meeting set to Spanish), but your Webex App language is set to French, AI assistant provides the in-meeting summary and respond to your questions in French, based on your app settings.

For post-meeting summaries, AI assistant generates the summary in the meeting's spoken language. If the meeting language is set to Spanish, the post-meeting summary will also be in Spanish.

With the real-time translation license, we support 13 spoken languages. For customers without a license, we support 5 spoken languages by default.

Increasing maximum resolution for individual video streams from 720p to 1080p—Window, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Linux, Windows VDI, and Mac VDI

To improve video quality, we’re increasing the maximum video resolution from 720p to 1080p. Previously sites had to request this capability to be enabled, this will now be enabled for all organizations as standard.

To send 1080p, you must have a suitable device (for more details see Webex video support) and you must select 1080p in the camera settings.

If your organization wants to restrict the video back to 720p, contact Cisco support to submit a request.

Personal Conference Number (PCN) meetings

Today, PCN meetings can’t be scheduled on the Webex Suite meeting platform, nor can new PCN accounts be created. However, you can start existing scheduled PCN meetings and use an existing PCN account to start an audio-only meeting.

After August 31, 2024, you’ll no longer be able to start an existing scheduled PCN meeting, nor use an existing PCN account to start a meeting. Make sure to mark your calendar and plan for this change. To start an audio-only meeting, start a scheduled meeting by phone.

Choose whether to show your Webex App when sharing your screen—Windows and Mac

We now show your Webex App windows, by default, when you share your screen in a meeting. In earlier releases, Webex App was hidden by default. So, if you don’t want the other meeting participants to see Webex App when you share your screen, make sure you hide it.

We made showing or hiding the app more convenient by adding these two new ways:

  • Before the meeting starts, go to Settings > Sharing content and check or uncheck Show my Webex app.
  • When you share your screen, check or uncheck Show my Webex app in the lower left of the Share content dialog.

These methods are in addition to the option to click More sharing options more sharing options button on the share control bar and check or uncheck Show my Webex app.

The check boxes in all three places share the same value. Your selection applies to all your future meetings.

Cisco AI Codec—Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android

We’ve improved audio quality in poor network conditions with Cisco AI Codec! When you have low bandwidth and high packet loss, audio is choppy and difficult to hear. AI Codec encodes at low bit rates and increases redundancies, providing better resiliency and audio quality.

AI Codec is being rolled out to Webex now.
