1 day ago Microsoft Teams, also one of Webex’s largest competitors, has had the advantage of a large Microsoft install base. Cisco, however, is clawing back enterprise interest through a focus on security. The Webex Call app in Microsoft Teams will launch voice and video calls using the Webex app. The Webex app must be enabled for calling using either Webex Calling or Cisco Unified Communication Manager. Install both the Webex Call app with the Webex Meetings app to have access to both Cisco Calling and Meetings from Microsoft Teams. With the Webex Teams connector, you can send and receive messages, manage files, and manage spaces and teams. The Cisco Webex Meetings integration makes it easy to add a link for your Webex meeting or Personal Room meeting to your message in your team channel in Microsoft Teams. With the Webex tab, you can schedule a Webex meeting and invite channel members so that it appears in their upcoming meetings lists and in their Microsoft Office 365 calendars. Why Microsoft and Cisco is a great combination. Here’s why Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex make for a perfect interoperability combination. With Microsoft Teams, the users can avail Microsoft Licenses, Skype for Business features, and integrate natively with Office 365 features; Given Cisco’s legacy, users get access to hardware like Cisco Webex boards, VoIP handsets, and telepresence.
-->This article provides instructions for connecting Microsoft Cloud App Security to your existing Cisco Webex account using the connector APIs. This connection gives you visibility into and control over Webex users, activities, and files. For information about how Cloud App Security protects Cisco Webex Teams, see Protect Cisco Webex Teams.
Prerequisites
We suggest that you create a dedicated service account for the connection. This enables you to see that governance actions performed in Webex as being performed from this account, such as delete messages sent in Webex. Otherwise, the name of the admin who connected Cloud App Security to Webex will appear as the user who performed the actions.
You must have Full Administrator and Compliance Officer roles in Webex (under Roles and Security > Administrator Roles).
