What is the Cisco Webex meetings desktop app?

The Cisco Webex Meetings desktop app is a software application that allows users to join and participate in Webex meetings directly from their desktop or laptop computers. It provides a dedicated interface for scheduling, hosting, and attending online meetings, video conferences, and webinars through the Cisco Webex platform. The desktop app is part of the broader Cisco Webex Meetings suite, offering a convenient and feature-rich solution for virtual meetings and collaboration.

The Meetings desktop app package includes two parts: the in-meeting app, which allows you to host or participate in meetings, and the pre-meeting app, which resides on your desktop. You can use the pre-meeting desktop app to join meetings, whether or not you have a Webex account. If you sign in with a host account, you can start meetings instantly, schedule meetings, join your scheduled meetings, add integrations to join meetings from other apps, and detect nearby video devices. If you sign in with an attendee account, you can see and join your upcoming meetings and detect nearby video devices. If you don't have an account or haven't signed in, you can still use the Meetings desktop app as a guest to see your upcoming meetings, easily join your meetings, and connect to a video device.
