Overall Satisfaction with Webex Meetings
I have used it as a host with my Webex Personal Room for getting people at different timezones connected: short status meetings up to extended workshops 2-3 days. I've used most of the features available from collaborating, sharing content, inviting participants, connecting to external video devices, and chatting privately and publicly, and managing contributions through raised hands is helpful. When attending as a normal participant in educational training, I have also shared feedback by filling out the post-webinar survey. In both roles, I would highlight the possibility of removing background noise since I used to take notes and sometimes the keyboard typing could be a distraction for others; as well as having the possibility to mute other attendees when are distracted or unintentionally have opened their mics. The 3 versions work amazing, desktop, web, and mobile, moreover this latter is pretty intuitive and loads quickly in comparison with other applications.

- Drawing on the screen is the greatest feature when several people contributing, for instance, on a workflow diagram to add notes or make corrections
- It has been hard for me to manage the menu bar, the transparency and some other floating effects help but it would be great to setup a default configuration on screen sides for the differents bars at the profile level
- When there are several people with their hands raised play a sound that calls the attention of the host/moderator in case have missed them
- Adding an option to take screenshots when there are some drawings on the screen and attach them to the meeting recording folder/files
- I think Webex Meetings has enabled the remote teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of location, saving time and travel costs.
- However, video conferencing could lead to decreased face-to-face interaction over time. Not all people want to turn on their cameras.
- Despite the above situation, the breakout rooms facilitate better communication and faster decision-making when used.
- Zoom and Slack
Webex Meetings stacks up against them, given the robust security features and that it's ideal for large meetings and events. Considering factors like meeting size, frequency, budget, security requirements, and desired level of formality, I used Webex Meetings as it covers all the features of others, avoiding to manage 2 or 3 more apps in daily routine.
