Video
Webex Meetings is a video conferencing software that enables users to communicate and collaborate easily. It provides HD video and audio conferencing for up to 1,000 participants and features various content sharing features such as screen sharing, apps like whiteboards and annotating content. Furthermore, this program allows for recording meetings as well as auto-transcription for easier accessibility later.
Software available on desktops, mobile devices and room systems; used for online meetings, group chats and webinars. With its robust security features to protect sensitive data and prevent unintended disclosure. Administrators can manage permissions on scale for improved efficiency; integration with Panopto allows users to attend secure meetings using existing credentials while simultaneously reducing administrative support costs.
Cisco Webex also offers a free plan, the “Starter”, with up to 50 host capacity users, unlimited participants, and 1 GB of cloud storage – however it comes with a 40-minute meeting limit.
While Webex is an invaluable collaboration tool, it does have some drawbacks that must be considered when planning meetings with it. For instance, Webex does not permit locking meeting screens and password protection and will not work with older video systems that require DTMF key 1. Therefore it may be better suited for meetings that use older systems that require DTMF key 1 than Webex; alternative video conferencing software would likely display more attendees on its roster than what would appear through Webex’s list.
Audio
Cisco Webex Meetings supports audio options from both phones and computers, offers HD video conferencing capabilities, allows participants to switch devices during calls and integrates with content-sharing extensions as well as mobile applications.
Webex provides attendees with an intuitive user experience, offering multiple features. Users can personalize the meeting controls layout to their preference, select language settings and microphone preferences as well as adjust audio quality according to what content is shared.
Zero Trust limits meeting attendees to those invited by the host or using approved devices, in order to reduce security breaches and leaks. Furthermore, hosts can choose to add audio watermarks that contain unique inaudible identifiers that will identify leaked recordings as their source.
Cisco Webex Suite provides its own network monitoring and troubleshooting tools; however, many IT teams opt for third-party monitoring software in order to gain a broader view of their environments and identify any problems missed by built-in troubleshooting tools. Collaborative tools are essential for productivity; however, any tool used across an enterprise should first be tested for security vulnerabilities prior to widespread deployment. Cisco Webex vulnerabilities provide a reminder that this type of tool must always undergo security tests prior to widespread usage across an organization.
Meeting Rooms
