It's nice they released a client, but the client is way behind in feature support and rarely gets updates. There is no real PSTN calling on the linux app, join a meeting link doesn't work, chat in meetings doesn't work, no virtual backgrounds, and the list goes on.

But the Client doesn't work on Events nor does Events work properly in any browser on the Linux platform. FIX THIS!!!!!

@Guest, so when @Manali said in late 20: "There are numerous questions in terms of what flavors will be supported, what features will be available, etc." we foresaw the risk of being palmed-off with a desktop client that supported basic meeting functionality but without give/take remote control and attempting to support build and packaging for Linux's uniquely fragmented distributions.

18 months, two years on and following a pandemic that made "Zoom call" an every-day phrase used by grandparents, in the corporate space I've seen -- and perhaps you have too -- a distinct pattern in the movement between platforms.

As happened today, I had to join a call with a new firm. They said they'd send an invite. I had a silent bet with myself (that I didn't lose) as to which platform it would be on when their email came through.

Is anybody else seeing the same trend?

Joining meeting does not work at all.

Joining a meeting in browser as well:

"Your operating system or browser doesn't support Webex . Sign in on a Windows or Mac computer to download the app."

everything was ok but it doesn't exist the option "Provide or request remote control in Webex linux version" what happend you forgot it?

Hello! This works well for joining meetings however I would like to see the following:

• Ability to scroll through pages of participants (over 16) just like MacOS, Windows, Android, IOS versions. For now the view is locked to first 16 on multiple view.

• Ability to log in with "meetingsamer.webex" instead of "meet86.webex" account.

Hello! This works great for joining meetings however I would like to see the following:

Works fine on Debian GNU/Linux 11! Thank you very much!

Hi,

sorry, I see now you have both. GREAT!

Thanks M.

Hi

very good. I am looking for it.

It would be nice to have clients for both Debian and Red-Hat/Fedora flavors of Linux.

Take care

Thank you for listening to the folks in need of this client.

I would like thank the WebEx team for releasing the Linux client. It's working great! I would like to request the following features be added:

• An option for compact view

• An option to switch the font to the default typeface the desktop environment is using.

Thanks again for all your hard work on the Linux WebEx client!

@Chris Poupart: Out of interest, which way have you gone:-

• Have you settled on using the WebEx Linux Desktop Client/WebRTC as your combined conferencing/collaboration tool and placing and taking office VoIP calls using the one app?

• Have you settled on using a dedicated softphone app as your combined conferencing/collaboration tool and placing and taking office VoIP calls? or

• Have your reverted(?) to using the WebEx Linux Desktop Client/WebRTC for WebEx conferencing/collaboration and using a separate softphone for VoIP?

As you say, there's no post-COVID rush back to the office and I guess meanwhile that those pricey room systems are gathering dust in the c-suite rooms on the top floor.

Breakout functionality doesn't appear to work in the Linux client. I'm going to be forced back to the Web version for meetings that include breakouts. Otherwise, this is a nice piece of work and I'm grateful for it.

Unfortunately I've had to go back to using the web client for now. The chat functionality works great, but I'm running into too many issues doing videoconferencing. Specifically:

• Apparently my name doesn't show up properly for other people, instead showing something like "User"

• Audio delays when I speak in the room

• No "chat" button

• No "whiteboard" option

So I can't believe the most useful functionality for webex is not present in the linux native client. Request Control. Without this functionality, the Linux Clien is worthless. I get more use out of the firefox web client than I can out of this.

For Linux users this would have been a game changer if you only gave it the love you gave the windows and apple versions. Every year the Linux community gets bigger but still gets ignored. I thought Cisco was turning a corner here.

Be Better!

Tested on Debian 9 and 10 using XFCE and the current binary version doesn't works.

On Ubuntu 18.04 th app do not scale correctly with fractional scaling enabled. Part of the windows and buttons are outside the viewing area and unclickable making the application useless. Customer sipport appear to have no clue at all and redirects me to the installation guide...

Just don't work and worst no log at all, great job Cisco
