Instant Connect screen share during an active phone call

When a user shares their screen during an active phone call on iOS devices, the ongoing call is not automatically placed on hold. This behavior is due to a known platform limitation: iOS does not support multiple concurrent audio/video sessions at the system level.

To address this, we are introducing a feature toggle under Feature Customization, Screen Sharing called Disconnect meeting audio and video while users are screen sharing during a phone call (iOS only). When enabled, Instant Connect bypasses camera and microphone permissions, allowing users to join meetings with only screen sharing enabled.

By default, this toggle is disabled. Administrators can enable it for their organization as needed. Once enabled, users can connect with screen sharing only (without audio and video), and the experience will work as expected.

Instant Connect on Unified Space Meeting (USM) in FedRAMP

Service Apps are currently not supported in the FedRAMP environment. To support Instant Connect FedRAMP customers in the USM environment, we have worked with the FedRAMP InfoSec team and received approval to enable the Instant Connect Service App on FedRAMP without making other Service Apps available as a generic offering.

Cisco will create a Service App specifically for Instant Connect Guest-to-Guest meetings. The behavior will be same as that for Instant Connect USM Commercial.

The workflow is as follows:

  1. Cisco creates a Service App for instant Guest-to-Guest meetings. This Instant Connect Service App schedules meetings for a specific visit and operates as the license sponsor for the meeting.
  2. These meetings must happen on dedicated guest-to-guest sites, which the admin must configure by providing a name. All reporting and most site configurations are available. The G2G site is available upon subscription/license activation.
  3. When an admin approves the Instant Connect Service App in Control Hub, it is bonded to the G2G site.
  4. The new Instant Connect Service App determines if the backend is on WSMP. If it is, it orchestrates G2G meetings; otherwise, it orchestrates space-backed meetings.

All Instant Connect Fedramp customers must approve this new Instant Connect Service App to avoid service disruption when their org is moved to WSMP. Once a customer approves the app, Cisco uses the service App’s machine access token to create a meeting in the G2G site. On authorization, the service app has the necessary license/entitlements to schedule G2G meetings in the org.

Please reach out to Cisco team in case you decide to use the functionality as this feature is in limited access.

Delete API

The Delete API is now available behind a feature toggle. Customers can delete meeting links when a visit is canceled or completed.

  • Use Case: If a meeting is moved or modified, the existing link must be canceled, and a new link created with the updated parameters.

  • Permissions: Only admins with the scope spark-admin:people_write and the link creator can delete meeting links for the organization.

  • Potvrda: Any user within an organization can verify the validity of a meeting link.

  • Short URLs: When calling the POST joseencrypt API to create meeting links, set provideshortUrlsOnly=true. The API will return only short URLs.

  • Deletion: If a list provided for deletion has both valid and invalid URLs, all valid ones will be deleted, and invalid ones will be listed in the response.

  • Responsibility: Users are responsible for managing URL keys to handle their meetings.

Please reach out to the Cisco team at devsupport@webex.com if you would like to use this functionality, as it is in limited access.

Lock and Unlock Meetings

Hosts can now lock a meeting after the required hosts and participants have joined. Once locked, participants cannot be automatically added to the meeting, but a host can see participants waiting in the lobby and admit them manually. This feature is only available in the Unified Space Meeting flow. Customers in space meetings will see no changes.

Napomena: Meetings are unlocked by default.

Napomena: Whether a participant can wait the lobby of a locked meeting and be admitted by the host depends on Control Hub settings. Please ensure the correct settings are enabled in Control Hub in Webex meeting security section in the Settings tab of Meeting in the Services left nav:

Instant Connect on Unified Space Meeting (USM)

Space-backed meetings are being replaced with full-featured Webex meetings in the meetings backend. This rollover is done in cohorts continuously, with ample notice to system administrators before the move. The backend move has implications for your Instant Connect app deployment, which are outlined below.

Instead of space-backed meetings, the Guest2Guest (G2G) app framework serves as a replacement. So far, space-backed meetings have been used in Instant Connect to facilitate meetings between two licensed/non-licensed users. Those spaces are typically created on the fly, two guests are added, and an ad-hoc meeting commences.

This mechanism is not available on the Webex Suite Meetings Platform (WSMP). Every meeting is a full-featured Webex meeting. We achieve this by introducing a new G2G Service App, which is licensed for Webex Meetings.

The workflow is as follows:

  1. Cisco creates a Service App for instant Guest-to-Guest meetings. This Instant Connect Service App schedules meetings for a specific visit and operates as the license sponsor for the meeting.
  2. These meetings must happen on dedicated guest-to-guest sites, which the admin must configure by providing a name. All reporting and most site configurations are available. The G2G site is available upon subscription/license activation.
  3. When an admin approves the Instant Connect Service App in Control Hub, it is bonded to the G2G site.
  4. The new Instant Connect Service App determines if the backend is on WSMP. If it is, it orchestrates G2G meetings; otherwise it orchestrates space-backed meetings.

All Instant Connect customers must approve this new Instant Connect Service App to avoid service disruption when their org is moved to WSMP. Once a customer approves the app, Cisco uses the service App’s machine access token to create a meeting in the G2G site. On authorization, the service app has the necessary license/entitlements to schedule G2G meetings in the org. Use the following image as a reference:
