August was an exciting month for Cisco and the Webex Teams group.
As collaboration continues to be a crucial component of today's most effective teams, leading collaboration app vendors know that they need to invest in the right updates and enhancements to keep ahead of the curve.
For Cisco, this means implementing new design features and functionalities to make Cisco Webex Teams as compelling as possible. Here are just some of the latest updates.
Edit Message and Button Features
For those of you who frequently deal with things like typos and misspellings when you're communicating with team members in a hurry, "Edit Message" is now available. This allows Mac, iOS, Windows, and Android users to one-tap edit their messages when they notice a mistake.
Cisco Webex Teams also introduced buttons and cards to give employees an easier way to communicate and interact with their integrations and bots. Cards appear as forms sent by bots to your Webex space. These forms might include drop-down menus, text fields, buttons and more. These will help developers to create a seamless user interface with a fantastic point-and-click process.
Developers will be able to build new bots or update their existing ones using the new buttons and cards feature, so there's no limit to what you can accomplish with your intelligent team meetings.
Better App Alignment and Branding
The Cisco Webex Teams platform has just had a design update for Mac and Windows. The company is currently aligning its design across the entire collaboration app portfolio to make everything feel a lot more streamlined. You'll see a number of changes such as:
- The home icon is now a chat bubble, similar to in Jabber
- Your avatar (photo) and menu are moving into the first column
- The "Light mode" theme will have a darker coloured first column
- Advanced screensharing and calling will now be available in the header space
- The waffle menu button has been updated to share the Jabber three-dot design
Cisco Webex Teams users will also be able to bring more of their branding to their users. In August, Cisco gave users the option to co-brand their Teams space with their own logo and colours. The company logo sits above the avatar for corporate users.
Virtual Stickies and Seamless Forwarding
Windows and Mac users will now be able to add virtual sticky notes to their digital whiteboards for brainstorming purposes, creating Kanban boards, keeping track of to-do lists and more. You can choose the text, colour, and position of the note on your board too.
