Webex Security Model
The Webex security model is built on the same security foundation deeply engraved in Cisco’s processes. The Webex organization consistently follows the foundational elements to securely develop, operate, and monitor Webex services. We will discuss some of these elements in detail in the next part of this chapter. Figure 6-7 illustrates the Webex security model.

Webex Meetings
You can create more interactive and engaging meetings with innovations like emoji reactions, gesture recognition, immersive share, and next-gen polling by Slido, as well as take advantage of intelligent, AI-driven innovations like background noise cancellation, speech enhancement, recordings, and transcriptions so you can get more done with fewer meetings. Give everyone an equal seat at the table with inclusive features that enable everyone to be seen, heard, and understood with features like real-time language translation, breakout sessions, and moderated Q&A. Figure 6-8 shows the Webex Meetings feature.

Customize Your Audio and Video Preferences
When you join a meeting from your computer, the app automatically detects the audio and video devices you have connected to your computer, such as a headset. You can change your settings right before you start or join a meeting, like if you want your video on or want to dial into a meeting with audio only. You can also make some of these preferences your default settings, if you’d like. Figure 6-9 shows Webex Meetings audio and video preferences.

You can customize your video settings as follows:
• Choose what camera to use.
• See yourself like you’re looking in a mirror (Mirror My Video).
• Blur your background or use a preset or custom virtual background.

You can also personalize your audio settings:
• Choose a headset, speaker, or microphone.
• Reduce disruptions with background noise removal and speech enhancement.
Start Your First Meeting
With the Webex app, you can meet whenever you need to—right away or later. There’s two ways to start or schedule your meetings in the app: either from the calendar or from your spaces. No matter which you choose, you can connect with video or just audio, record your meeting, set your virtual background, get rid of distracting background noise, and share your screen during your meeting.
