Use the Connect to a device option to look for compatible video devices to pair with your Cisco Webex Meetings desktop app. You can connect to on-premises or cloud-registered video devices using the same steps.
The Cisco Webex Meetings desktop app listens for ultrasound signals from Webex devices using the microphone on your computer to make the connection. No audio is stored or sent to Cisco.
When your Cisco Webex Meetings desktop app detects a nearby video device, you can choose to connect to it and join a meeting from that device. If you're paired to a device, the device joins the meeting automatically when you click Join.
To join your next meeting with the video device, you can select Join meeting using this video system.
If you're paired to a device, then you can also share content locally using a Webex Share Device or a Video Device.
