Simplify your IT department’s work and make it easy for participants to join meetings from any standards-based video endpoint with Cisco Webex® Meetings.
Product overview
With cloud-based conferencing services, you can shift from a Capital Expenditures (CapEx) financial model to an Operating Expenses (OpEx) model while using existing network and device investments. And because it is a cloud service, it simplifies the complexity of managing disparate technologies. All this with your Cisco Webex Meetings subscription.
