Now, you can join Cisco Webex meetings using your Microsoft Teams app

Microsoft has released a new update that finally allows users to join Cisco Webex meetings from the Rooms feature in its popular video conferencing app Teams, allowing guests to directly join.

The tech giant first announced this capability in November last year during its annual ‘Ignite’ conference.

Microsoft has now updated Teams Rooms so that users can natively join meetings on Cisco Webex platform.

The Teams ‘4.5.35.0’ update introduced the feature to “join Cisco Webex meetings from Teams Rooms with direct guest join,” along with “switch to video gallery layout even when content is present”.

The update also allows virtual raise hands support for attendee and controls for presenter and adjustable default volume setting for conferencing and default speaker.
