About Your Webex Share
Webex Share provides quality, cable-free content sharing for local meetings on any HDMI display. It transforms any display into a Webex wireless presentation screen. When combined with Webex, Webex Share allows users can collaborate locally in a physical room, eliminating the need to huddle around a laptop.
