Webex adds iPhone Duo support and conversation transcription
The update supports multiple device positions and adds a tool that summarizes in-person conversations and creates action items.
Cisco has updated Webex for Apple's iPhone Duo, adding meeting features for different device configurations alongside a transcription tool for in-person conversations. The video meeting app supports use with the phone open or closed, including portrait and landscape orientations, as well as laptop and tent positions.
Opening the device lets users see additional meeting participants while keeping shared material on screen and accessing a whiteboard. Split View also allows users to run a second app alongside Webex.
The Webex Mobile Camera Share feature can broadcast the phone's camera feed into a meeting with the device open in its laptop position. Other participants can watch that live feed and add annotations.
Cisco has also brought its Webex Notetaker Agent to the iPhone app. The tool can produce transcripts, summaries and action items from conversations held in person. Webex remains available as a free download through the App Store.
