Use people focus to see people more clearly in meetings and webinars in webex
The effects of distance from the camera or a large number of people in the same room can sometimes make it difficult for the viewer to see the person if they are far away from their camera. In Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars, the People Focus crop produces the video of the participants automatically in order to give the participants a better sense of connection.
Beta testing is currently underway for this feature.
When you are viewing the Grid view, people focus allows you to crop the individual participant videos using artificial intelligence to make the most of the available space on the screen. You may be able to watch each participant individually on a screen if you have multiple people joining a meeting using the same room or board device. This allows you to view each participant individually on a screen. If you make changes to one video in the group, they apply to all videos in the group, regardless of whether someone gets separated into their own video.
We are currently able to support Webex meeting rooms, Webex webinar rooms, and the Webex app for Windows and Mac.
With the People focus crop, it is possible to crop out the video of participants that join through the desktop app, the Room Series device, or the Board Series device with RoomOS 11 installed.
There is no cropping of the video of people joining through the Meetings or Webinars mobile application, web app, or from the Desk Series devices if the People Focus option is selected.
- You can toggle People focus on in the Grid view by clicking Layout and then clicking the switch.
