It is So frustrating being forced to use Webex when there are so many limitations. We have moved to a world of working from home where MANY people have to put up with this day in and day out. Why can’t a participant move the bit that is being shared to another screen, and have Webex support two windows, like what I’ve described above for the presenter?Ĭisco – please improve your support for multi-screen layouts. Why can’t a participant move the presenter’s shared screen to another monitor? But still no support for a second screen. Now Cisco has made some great improvements with the experience for the viewer in terms of the options for layouts. If another person is talking, I’d particularly like that person’s image (or video if they are using it) to dominate (and show their name) something like above (where I’ve had to ADD the name under the picture – I want the name there even if the video is on) The Participant – the person viewing the shared screen This is a mock-up of how I MIGHT arrange the panels on my second screen, I’d envisage that the second secret would be something like the current Participant’s screen but without the shared screen.ĪND I’d like Webex (Meetings) to remember this layout should I stop sharing and then start sharing again. Something like this: This is my mock-up of how a second window might look. So to recap – I’d like all my floating panels in ONE SINGLE window, and only appear on one desktop (unless I choose to show on all desktops). I envisage that the panel window would have many options for showing, hiding, focusing on speakers etc This Panel Window should remember its settings, so it the presenter STOPs sharing a screen, but later resumes sharing, the Panel Window should remember how it was set up last time. So please don’t force your screen onto every desktop unless I choose!īut I digress – back to the proposed panel window If I wanted that window to be in all spaces, I’d CHOOSE to make that window available on all desktops! My second screen cluttered with multiple pesky panels

The panel window should show ALL the other panels: the participants video feeds, the chat, the Q&A etc ALL in a single window that can be maximised (or not) and NOT appear over the top of every window in every space (currently, if i open say the chat window and move it to my second screen, it sits in from to all other content on that window, and EVEN WHEN I SWAP TO ANOTHER SPACE it STILL sits on top of the windows on THAT other space (Windows users may not understand spaces, but macOS users will). I want to move ALL those overlay panels into a single window
(I have 3 screens, some colleagues have more) This is my shared screen. – or the option to NOT use a panel window and put up with what we have now – floating windows covering your shared screen until you move them. The Presenter – the person SHARING a screen.įor the Presenter, when I share my screen, I need to option to create a panel window. Now there are MANY ways and instances where this could be implanted, but I wish to fist make the distinction between a Presenter who is sharing a screen, and a Participant, who is juggling trying to view that screen while keeping track of chats, Q&A etc. I’m also writing from the point of view of a macOS user – there may be some variations tot Webex behaviour in other versions. In this discussion, I am writing from the Webex Meetings experience, but probably the ideas are applicable on other variations. For the viewer, one window for the screen being shared and one for the collection of other panels. And ALL the pesky panels in a SINGLE window that can be managed as a single unit and remember where it lives when screen sharing stops. For the presenter, one “window” would be the screen being shared. I’d like Cisco to move to a default two window model when screen sharing is active. Many Webex users have multiple screens, yet Webex fails to make use of this beyond the ability to share one of those screens – at least in Webex (Teams) and Webex Meetings – last time I checked in the obsolete Webex Training not even that was available. This is a reprint (with pictures) of an idea I submitted to Cisco – please support and vote for it after clicking this link.
