WebEx Meetings Update April 2021

Grid View: Zoom In and Zoom Out

Need to get a closer look at someone's video? By default, the Webex Meetings desktop app grid view adjusts automatically based on the number of people in the meeting. In this update, we're introducing a new slider, giving you more control of how many videos you want to see at any given time. Zoom in to see videos larger, or zoom out to see more people on screen.

Customize the Stage View

Our new customizable stage allows you to easily control who or what you want in view at any time in Webex Meetings.

In the top right select "Layout" and choose "Stack". You can now easily grab a participant from the filmstrip and move them to the stage. This is a great way to get a closer look at a participant, to place an active speaker right next to the content that's being shared, or to keep users who aren't actively speaking in view (for example, a sign-language interpreter).

Simply drag a video from filmstrip on to the stage with your mouse, or select Move to stage from the more options menu of the user you would like to move.

You can easily add and remove videos from the stage at any time. Up to four videos can be added to the stage, in addition to the shared content or active speaker.

 

Sync my Stage for Everyone

As a host or cohost, once you customize your stage, you can sync your view to become the default stage view for everyone in the meeting. This is helpful when you want to control who and what your audience is seeing.

  • First, select layout and set to "Stack"
  • Drag and drop or PIN additional video to the stage. (See above - Customize the Stage View)
  • Select layout in the top right and choose "Sync my stage for everyone".
