You can now easily control and customise the visual layout of your screen while in a meeting. Choose how you want to see your participants and prioritise screens based on what suits you.

Webex Meeting Templates
With the new virtual work culture, meeting schedules can fill up quickly and sometimes we just don’t have time to waste. Organising the right type of meeting for your purpose is now made easy with Webex meeting templates. Templates include:
Quick Sync meeting: Hold a quick meeting with a hard stop, where problems meet purpose.This template allows you to set a timeframe for meetings so you can start and end on time and stay focused on the topic on hand.
Round table meeting: A meeting where everyone has a voice. This template has a solicited meeting structure where time limits can be allocated to participants, allowing all participants equal speaking time.
