New and Changed Features for Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Release 2.8MR1
Closed Captioning Support with the Media Viewer Panel
Hosts can use the Media Viewer Panel and a third-party closed-captioning service to provide closed captioning for their meetings. This feature improves the Section 508 compliance level for Cisco WebEx Meetings Server.
Delete Users
With this maintenance release, deleted users can now attend meetings using the address associated with the deleted account. The previous six-month restriction no longer applies.
Improved Meeting Join Experience
When an attendee enables the Start my video in all meetings setting, the video for their meetings starts when they choose their audio connection. This feature starts audio and video at the same time.
If the Start my video in all meetings setting is not enabled, and WebEx detects a camera, the attendee can do one of the following:
New and Changed Features for Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Release 2.8
This section describes features that are new or changed in this release.
For a complete list of system requirements, see the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Planning Guide and System Requirements Release 2.8. Visit http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12732/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
All supported features from Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (CWMS) Release 2.7 (including features added in Maintenance Releases) are supported in CWMS 2.8. The data sheet for Cisco WebEx Meetings Server provides an overview of the features and benefits of CWMS. Visit http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10352/ps10362/ps12732/data_sheet_c78-717754.html.
Replace a Virtual Machine
With this feature, you can replace a virtual machine without having to rebuild the CWMS system from scratch. You can replace any virtual machine, which is part of a CWMS system, except the primary admin node. Therefore, you can recover a system when some nodes are beyond repair but the primary admin node is still functional.
Application Audit Log Enhancement
This release includes the following new configuration option for the Application Audit Log: Enable Meeting Audit Logs. After you enable this setting, the system writes additional logs for meetings to the Application Audit Log.
This setting is visible to and configurable by anyone assigned to the Auditor role. If the system does not have anyone assigned to the Auditor role, this setting is visible to and configurable by the following roles:
Backup Now Button
Click Backup now to immediately start a backup of your system.
Once started, this action cannot be stopped.
Do not power down your system, reboot your system, or exit Maintenance Mode (if the system is in Maintenance Mode) until the backup process is complete.
Depending on your system, the backup process can take longer than an hour to complete.
You can monitor the status of the backup process on the Backup Management page.
Blast Dial Audio Announcements
To make joining a Blast Dial meeting faster and easier, you can bypass the requirement to press 1, 2, or 3 to join. You can also configure which prompts to play by choosing one of the following options:
Skip press 1 prompt: the attendee connects to the meeting directly. The prompt to enter 1,2, or 3 does not play. The pin setting remains the same as before and the welcome prompt plays.
Skip press 1 prompt with Skip the welcome message: the attendee connects to the meeting directly. The prompt to enter 1,2, or 3 does not play. The pin setting remains the same as before, but the welcome prompt does not play.
Delete Users
You can delete host and administrator accounts. When you delete an account, the user data, future meetings, and recurring meetings hosted by the user are also deleted. Past meetings are retained for 6 months, because they are required for reports, billing, licensing, and auditing.
Important:For six months after deletion, a deleted user cannot use the address associated with the deleted account to attend any meetings on the system. To disable the ability to host meetings and still permit the user to attend meetings, set their account status to INACTIVE.
Improved Meeting Join Experience
When an attendee enables the Start my video in all meetings setting, the video for their meetings starts when they choose their audio connection. This feature starts audio and video at the same time.
If the Start my video in all meetings setting is not enabled, and WebEx detects a camera, the attendee can do one of the following:
Last Hosted Column
When you select the Permanent licensees or Temporary licensees filter on the Users tab, the system replaces the Session Type column with the Last Hosted column in the results. The Last Hosted column displays the date on which the corresponding user last hosted a meeting. If the date was more than six months earlier, the column displays 6+ months instead of the date.
Manage Recordings
As an administrator, you have limited access to all recordings on system, for file storage management purposes. You can list, search for, and delete recordings. An Auditor can only list and search for recordings.
Meeting hosts can delete their own recordings. To mitigate issues with accidental deletion, the system retains deleted recordings for six months.
Restrict Meeting Access to Authenticated Users
Meeting hosts can set up internal meetings that require attendees to sign in with Single Sign On authentication. Hosts can also set up internal meetings that are available to invited users only.
You can configure custom tags to identify participants as either internal or external (guest) attendees. These tags also appear with the participants usernames in reports.
Supported Upgrade Paths
This release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server supports upgrades from release 1.x to 2.8. The following points apply:
An upgrade is defined as a replacement of the system to deploy major modifications that we made to the system.
An update is defined as an incremental modification of the system. Updates deploy fixes and minor improvements.
An update retains all data from the original system. An upgrade retains all data from the original system, except for the logs.
When upgrading, you cannot skip a major version of the software and go directly to a companion maintenance release (MR).
For example, to upgrade from 1.5MR5 to a 2.8MR, upgrade from 1.5MR5 to 2.8 and then update to the 2.8MR.
Note
All updates require downtime. For Multi-data centers, you update both data centers simultaneously.
Caution
Do not click Restart for one data center until the update for the other is complete, and both display the Restart button. When you update from Release 2.5MR6 or later to 2.8, restarting one data center before the update is complete for the other breaks replication.
Use the following table to determine how to update or upgrade to Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Release 2.8.

Important:You cannot change the audio encryption type (Audio Encrypted -AE/Audio Unencrypted -AU) for the system, during an upgrade or during an update. After deployment, the only way to change a system from one type of audio encryption to the other is to deploy a new system.
For more information, see the following documents:
Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Administration Guide Release 2.8: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12732/prod_installation_guides_list.html
Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Planning Guide and System Requirements Release 2.8: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/conferencing/webex-meetings-server/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
Updating Your High-Availability System
For systems with an existing High Availability (HA) system already attached, the HA system automatically updates when you update the primary system. Ensure that all HA virtual machines are turned on and running before you start the update process.
To add a High Availability (HA) system to your primary system, first deploy the HA system. Then update the HA system to the same version as the primary system. The HA system restarts at the end of the update process. We recommend that you wait an extra 15 minutes after the restart, before you begin to add the HA system to the primary system.
Limitations and Restrictions
Audio-only Meetings
Under the following circumstances, a meeting can continue for more than the 24-hour maximum meeting duration:
All attendees for a regular WebEx meeting are dial in (audio-only).
No attendee starts the web portion of the meeting.
In this case, the meeting continues as long as one attendee remains in the conference. If all dial-in attendees disconnect from the conference, the meeting ends within 24 hours of the start time. The meeting ends immediately if the meeting ran past the scheduled end time.
Note
This scenario applies only to regular WebEx meetings joined only by dial-in participants. This scenario does not apply to Personal Conference Number (PCN) meetings, or to regular WebEx meetings joined by web participants.
Internet Reverse Proxy Removal
As part of the Internet Reverse Proxy (IRP) node removal process, the Admin virtual machine sends a remove message to the IRP server. The message removes the IRP server and therefore all external access to the system. The message is sent as clear text, and it is unauthenticated. Well-crafted malicious code could replicate this behavior and lead to a denial of service.
We recommend that you limit access to port 64616, on the IRP node, to the Admin virtual machine only.
Productivity Tools
Incompatible Versions
Each release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server supports a specific version of the Cisco WebEx Productivity Tools client. Download the supported version of Productivity Tools from the Downloads link on your Cisco WebEx Meetings Server website. Using incompatible versions of these two applications can cause issues.
Recording Limitations
The maximum recording size, per recording, is 2.2 GB (existing system limit). For Multi-data Centers, ensure that there is sufficient storage capacity available for all data centers. The maximum number of recordings depends on your storage server capacity. You can estimate the required storage server size for a typical five-year period using the following formula:
Estimated hours of meetings that you expect to be recorded per day * 50-100 MB per hour of recording * five years * 24 hours per day * 365 days per year
There are no per-user storage limitations. The system stores recordings indefinitely until users delete them. To prevent important recordings from being accidentally deleted, there is no setting to enable the automatic deleting of recordings. The storage server retains recordings marked for deletion for up to six months. During that time, users can still archive the recordings to other media.
When you configure a storage server and check Record under , the Record setting is a system-wide setting.
Session Types
A session type is a predefined bundle of features and options (a profile) that site administrators can customize and assign to users. The default session (meeting) type is the PRO session type. Because of the relationships between the PRO session type and the custom session types, we recommend that you do not modify the PRO session type. The best practice is to create a custom session type to modify.
SSO and Email Address Changes
With this release, the Identity Provider (IdP) server can use any unique and static Active Directory (AD) field as the NameID for SSO configuration. If you plan to use the email address change feature, the email AD field is not static. Change the mapping for the NameID field on the IdP server to a unique AD field other than email. If you do not plan to use the feature to change email addresses, there is no requirement to change the mapping for the NameID field.
CautionIf the NameID field is mapped to the email AD field and you change user email addresses, the system creates a new user account for each changed address.
Outlook synchronizes with the Exchange server once a day. If you change an existing user’s email address on the Exchange server, the change does not immediately propagate to Outlook. Until synchronization occurs, the system receives the user’s former email address and issues a notice that the user cannot be found. A delegate (proxy) user cannot schedule a meeting for the user, or identify them as an alternate host, until after Outlook synchronizes with the Exchange server.
Manually synchronizing the systems does not solve this issue. This limitation is not a CWMS issue; it is the result of Outlook and Exchange design.
See also About SSO Configuration.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
The following limitations and restrictions are known to affect virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments.
Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp are the only desktop virtualization software supported for this release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server.
An architectural limitation of the virtual desktop environment can affect video quality. The frame rate may be low, causing a suboptimal experience when sending video.
Some video files cannot be shared in a virtual desktop environment.
Remote Access and Access Anywhere are not supported in virtual desktop environments. The underlying Citrix platform removes the Remote Access and Access Anywhere agents after the operating system restarts.
Important Notes
CWMS Licensing
Multi-data Center Licensing
Multi-data Center (MDC) licensing is required to join data centers to a system. Each data center requires an MDC system license; a MDC system requires a minimum of two licenses, one for each data center. A Single-data Center (SDC) does not require a system license. See "About MDC Licensing" in the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Administration Guide for your release: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/conferencing/webex-meetings-server/products-installation-guides-list.html.
Host Licensing
The way Host (user) licenses are counted changed significantly in release 2.5. A user can host a maximum of two simultaneous meetings, consuming only one license. Previously, a user that hosted multiple meetings consumed multiple licenses. A Host licenses is not required to schedule or attend a meeting. See "License Status of Users" in the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server Administration Guide for your release: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/conferencing/webex-meetings-server/products-installation-guides-list.html.
Hypervisor Support
Cisco WebEx Meetings Server runs on VMware virtual machines.
Both VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter are required to deploy Cisco WebEx Meetings Server. Using the vSphere client, you deploy the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server OVA file on an ESXi host managed by vCenter.
Cisco WebEx Meetings Server does not support other hypervisors.
For more information about hypervisor requirements, see the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server System Requirements at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12732/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
Support for 4096-bit Certificates
About Using Self-Signed Certificates
We strongly recommend using a publicly signed certificate instead of the provided self-signed certificate. User’s browsers trust publicly signed certificates because the list of Root Certificate Authority certificates installed on the computer establishes trust.
For Multi-data Center systems using self-signed certificates, the user receives multiple certificate warnings and must trust and install all certificates to use the system.
When using self-signed certificates, some users might have difficulty joining meetings because browsers by default do not trust such certificates. Users are required to explicitly establish trust in this case before they can proceed to join a meeting on your site. Some users might not understand how to establish trust with such a certificate. Others might be prevented from doing so by administrative settings. Use publicly signed certificates whenever possible to provide the best user experience.
The User Guide provides more information about this issue for users. See the "Meeting Client Does Not Load" topic in the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server User Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12732/products_user_guide_list.html.
Supported Ciphers
Cisco WebEx Meetings Server supports the following ciphers:
TLS Version 1.1
TLS Version 1.2
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (secp256r1)
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (secp256r1)

Known Issues and Notices
Keeping Your Hostname While Changing Your Virtual Machine IP Address
Never change the DNS entries for the hostnames that are configured in your deployment. You can change the hostname of a virtual machine that is part of your deployment. The corresponding IP address is picked up automatically from the DNS. To change the IP address of a virtual machine and keep the same hostname, perform the following steps:
Configure a temporary hostname in the DNS.
Change the hostname of the virtual machine to the temporary hostname that you configured.
Take the system out of maintenance mode for the new hostname change to take effect.
Your original hostname is not part of the deployment after this change.
Change the IP address of the original hostname in the DNS to the new IP address.
Change the temporary hostname of the virtual machine to the original hostname.
Take the system out of maintenance mode for the hostname change to take effect.
Now the original hostname is configured with your new IP address.
Dashboard Issue Failure to Display Meetings That Have Started
In this release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server, the dashboard can fail to display certain meetings as having started. This issue occurs in the following scenario:
A meeting is scheduled with the Allow participants to join teleconference before host setting enabled. A participant joins the meeting by phone but does not join the web portion. The dashboard should indicate that this meeting has started and has one participant but it does not. This issue can cause users to schedule multiple meetings resulting in performance issues.
IP Communicator 7.0.x Endpoints
IP Communicator 7.0.x endpoints joining CWMS meetings can introduce audio quality issues (echo and other noises) to a conference if either of the following conditions occur:
To prevent this issue, fine tune the IP Communicator environment (for example, the headset, microphone, and speaker) or use a different traditional phone.
Dial-in and Dial-Out Connections to an In-Progress Meeting
Cannot Share .mp4 Video File Format on Windows
When using QuickTime, the following message may appear: "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # –2093. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer."
This error message can indicate that the file QuickTime.qts is missing, moved, or unusable. The QuickTime.qts file is located in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. To resolve this symptom, completely remove and reinstall QuickTime.
Download the latest version of the QuickTime Player http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.
Uninstall QuickTime using the Add or Remove Programs control panel. Ensure that you select Uninstall Everything.
Delete the contents of the Temp folder, C:\WINDOWS\TEMP (if it exists).
Install QuickTime using the version of the QuickTime you downloaded.
Restart Windows.
