Acknowledging that Zoom has “taught [them] a thing or two about the end-user experiences,” Cisco today unveiled a revamped Webex meeting experience, which includes more virtual backgrounds and a range of added capabilities, Javed Khan, GM and SVP of Cisco Collaboration Group, told No Jitter in a briefing.
Enhanced User Experience, New Features for Webex
At the crux of today’s announcements is a series of changes for the Webex meetings experience, including a simplified button layout and added capabilities, Khan explained. Among the new capabilities are the ability to pin specific users or speakers, a new way to switch between a video and a VoIP call, and the ability to hide non-video participants, Khan said. And for fans of virtual backgrounds, Khan noted that the update includes more of them.
