WEBEX MEETINGS UPDATES (as of December 14, 2020)
Animated Meeting Reactions
In-meeting animated reactions emojis give users more freedom to express themselves non-verbally with emoji’s for clap, thumbs up/down, smile, laugh, sad, surprised, and celebrate.
Enhanced Video Layout Controls
Layout controls are optimized to a single button, labeled Layout. And now we’ve added the option to hide non-video participants to this menu as well for easy access, so you can select the view you want. We’re just getting started, stay tuned for more customized layout options coming in a future release.
And to be more consistent with your experiences on Webex devices, we’ve updated the layout views too.
- An active speaker and thumbnail video view is now called Stage view.
- Active speaker video view is now called Focus view.
- Video strip view is now called Stack view.
- The Floating panel view is now called the Fullscreen view.
Hide Names in Video
For a more immerse meeting experience, after a few minutes of inactivity name labels now hide for participants not speaking. Forget someone’s name? No problem, name labels will reappear when moving the mouse.
