Webex – Available Now

Improved Toolbar for Shared Content

Webex has made interacting with shared content easier by moving the tools (from a fade-out side bar) into a dedicated toolbar above the stage so you can access it at any time.

You can now see who’s sharing content, zoom in or out, open the annotation tools, and more–without blocking your view of what’s being shared.

Application Window Sharing

This feature optimizes the Webex Meetings content sharing experience while sharing an application. Previously, when you shared applications it would share the entire screen and mask areas outside of the selected application’s window. With this update, the receiving user sees the individual windows of the shared application and not the entire masked desktop screen..

Webex Browser App – Share 1080p Video in Chrome, Firefox and Edge

Users joining from the Webex Meetings web app in the Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers can now send up to 1080p video in meetings and webinars.
