The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Review the options for installation and learn about different methods for installing Cisco Jabber. Understand the requirements for successful deployments before you start the installation procedure.
Cisco Media Services Interface provides a Mac daemon that works with Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager and Cisco Medianet-enabled routers to ensure that Cisco Jabber can send audio media and video media on your network with minimum latency or packet loss.
If the service exists on the computer, Cisco Jabber provides flow information to Cisco Media Services Interface.
The service then signals the network so that routers classify the flow and provide priority to the Cisco Jabber traffic.
If the service does not exist, Cisco Jabber does not use it and sends audio media and video media as normal.
Note | Cisco Jabber checks for Cisco Media Services Interface for each audio call or video call. |
To install Cisco Media Services Interface for traffic marking, you must prepare your network.
Visit the Cisco Software Center to download the Cisco Jabber for Mac client.
In cloud-based deployments, when the Cisco Jabber client connects to the Cisco WebEx Messenger server, it checks for the latest version. If a new version exists, the Cisco Jabber client prompts the user to upgrade.
