\u201cLet\u2019s talk about it\u2014I\u2019ll set up a Webex!\u201d <\/em>Ever heard (or said) that sentence? If you are like most workers, the answer is yes; the name \u201cWebex\u201d is synonymous with the word \u201cmeet\u201d. It is the gold standard when it comes to real-time meetings and getting things done. More than six billion meeting minutes happen in Cisco\u00ae Webex<\/a>\u00ae\u2122 every month.<\/p>\n

But the way people meet is changing. And Webex is ready.<\/p>\n

To make it easier for teams to meet and get great work done, today we announce that we are converging the Cisco Spark \u2122 and Webex platforms. The result is a new Webex Meetings application for your meetings and a new seamless team collaboration application called Webex Teams (formerly Cisco Spark). We are putting all our award-winning video devices onto this newly converged platform. And we\u2019re adding a new hardware device that turns any work space with a TV into a Webex room. We didn\u2019t stop there. We\u2019re making everything easier to buy. And we\u2019re continuing to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence that will dramatically improve meetings as we know them today.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more information about each part of our news:<\/p>\n

We launch an all-new version of Webex meetings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing you will notice about the new Webex Meetings is that it is \u201cvideo first,\u201d meaning you\u2019ll be strongly encouraged to turn on your camera. That\u2019s because seeing and being seen are fundamental to good teamwork. Gone are the days when you\u2019d stare at the screen only to see the presentation. You\u2019ll now see all your teammates, in crisp, clean layouts whether you are using your laptop, your Cisco video room device or your mobile device.<\/p>\n

Because we deliver Webex through the cloud, the one hundred million people worldwide who use Webex do not need to take any action. They will simply get the update in the coming months.<\/p>\n

We launch a brand new version of Cisco Spark and at the same time give it a new name<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s business challenges are getting more and more complex, creating an urgency to help teams connect and get their best work done. We want to make it simple for our Webex users to take the next step to team collaboration.<\/p>\n

Our goal has always been to make Cisco Spark the simplest, most secure team collaboration tool on the planet. Today, we launch a new version of Cisco Spark, and give it a new name: Webex Teams. Now, when companies are ready to make their move to team collaboration they can do so with the brand that they already know and love\u2014Webex. All they need to do is add the Teams extension to start using team-based persistent collaboration.<\/p>\n

With this new version, we have completely integrated the technology across the applications\u2014 so you can expect the same rich Webex meeting functionality in Teams meetings, and a common experience no matter which you choose.\u00a0 Webex Teams gives you a much richer set of tools \u2013including whiteboarding, persistent messaging, simple guest access, content sharing and integrated tools\u2014to support teams both during and after the meeting.<\/p>\n

The new name also extends to our award-winning devices. For instance, the Cisco Spark Board becomes the Webex Board. That\u2019s because Webex meetings are even better when you join from one of Cisco\u2019s video devices.<\/p>\n
