Webex by Cisco has released new capabilities on iPad to increase workplace engagement and productivity.
Webex for iPad is receiving support for Multiple Windows and Stage Manager, which will increase work efficiency for hybrid workers by making it easier for users to multitask.
These features have already been made live on the Webex Meetings iPad app.
Jeetu Patel, EVP/GM, Security and Collaboration at Cisco, said: “Today’s hybrid work environment is more dynamic than ever.
“At Cisco, we believe people need to be empowered to work on their terms. And that requires making workflows intuitive and powerful for hybrid workers wherever work happens.
“The latest developments for Webex by Cisco on iPad address precisely this. New Webex Meeting experiences on iPad help everyone accomplish tasks more efficiently, resulting in higher engagement and productivity.”
Last year, Webex released Picture in Picture (PiP) for Webex Meetings on iPad and iPhone, which allowed users to continue watching their meetings on a smaller window while simultaneously looking at other applications.
This makes it easier for participants to find relevant content for the meeting, for example, without losing track of what is being shared, shown, or said in the meantime.
The continued popularity of live collaboration during meetings has led to new solutions which make it even easier to view and interact with content from multiple sources while engaging over video.
The latest update is a natural progression from PiP, which focuses on achieving a greater balance between the application and window sizes to better reflect where the focus of workers lies.
Shared content and in-meeting chat can now be popped out into a second window and then resized to fit the user’s needs.
Multiple windows allow users to connect their iPads to Cisco devices, such as the
Desk Pro, or any external display.
