Webex App: Quick Start Guide
Webex App with calling overview
Calling is integrated into the Webex app, so you can call your co-workers who you're working with, just by clicking on their name. The app integrates with your company's directory so you always have current contact information, and finding people becomes easy when you can search the directory. It takes the guesswork out of maintaining contact info or figuring out someone's availability.
Customise your audio and video preferences
When you make or receive a call, the app automatically detects the audio and video devices you have connected to your computer, such as a headset. You can change your settings right before you make a call, for example if you want your video on; or you just want it to be an audio call only. You can also make some of these your default settings if you'd like.
You can customise your video settings:
• Choose what camera to use.
• See yourself like you're looking in a mirror (Mirror my video).
• Blur your background or use a pre-set or custom virtual background. You can also personalise your audio settings:
• Choose a headset, speaker, or microphone.
• Reduce disruptions with background noise removal and speech enhancement
