Meetings. We want them to be quick and to the point, but we all know the feeling of sitting there too long and not crossing anything off your list. Cisco Webex Teams keeps things moving so you can focus on the most important things in the meeting, then get on with your day.

Webex Teams > New name. New innovative way to work.
As part of making the process more streamlined, Cisco realized that Spark and Webex are better together, so Spark is officially becoming part of the Webex family. That’s right, Cisco Spark is now Cisco Webex Teams — a more intuitive name for the same incredible shared virtual workspace experience. Before, users could only join Spark meetings from the Cisco Spark app and Webex meetings from the Webex app. Now, everything is a Webex Meeting and the features have been combined, giving the user the best of both apps and an easier, more intuitive platform. And Cisco Webex Teams comes with every Webex solution. One shared platform, one shared UI, and now one shared and trusted name. So much more than meetings — Webex is unmatched end-to-end collaboration.

Webex Features
Use all your tools, all the time, everywhere. Cisco Webex allows you to chat, meet, use a collaborative whiteboard, schedule, and share files. You can start a meeting with a single tap, never miss a message, share files with anyone at any time, and use the whiteboard to show people what you’re talking about; all on a platform that’s always secure.

Before
Everyone has the files they need in whatever format makes sense to them. Data is shared easily and securely heading into your brainstorming session. Total access. No information silos. Start and join the meeting with a click, or a voice command — no downloads, dial-ins, or plug-ins. Ready. Set. Collaborate on ideas. This is what setting up meetings should be.

During
Everyone. Everywhere. On every device. Everything you need. Every experience. Seamless. Crisp audio. Crystal clear video. Cameras automatically framing everyone perfectly. Distracting noises detected and muted — so only what you need to hear is in focus. Share. Discuss. Innovate and disrupt to grow. This is what collaboration should be.

After
Everyone on the project is connected so next steps proceed perfectly. In a shared virtual room, teams draw on an interactive whiteboard. Visibility is optimized: Work progresses, course correction and scope expansion is simplified. Role players pick up their piece of a project where someone else leaves off. Your collaboration tools interact with everyone’s favorite apps that are already in use. Enterprise-grade security protects people and information. Momentum maintained. Execution. Innovation crosses the finish line — success. This is what working as a team should be. Intuitive.

Your culture of innovation
Don’t just talk about the importance of innovation — inspire it, empower it, bring it to life! Before, during and after the meeting you can combine the frictionless Cisco Webex Meetings experience with the always-on, work-together Cisco Webex Teams experience. They learn as they work together with your teams. They give your customers the optimal meeting and teamwork experience. They are better, together.

Collaborate. Innovate. Succeed. The more intuitive way to work.
