Webex defaults to video on outbound PSTN call

When an end user places an outbound PSTN call from webex desktop application by hitting the keyboard ENTER key, the call is initiated as Video call by default.

We have found no way to define audio call as a default option. Often the video call is not a problem, but for some office like the one working for domestic violence / sexual abuse foundation, this is a huge concern.

Can we please add a menu option under webex application setting to define audio or video call as a default option ?

    The default should have been audio call from the start. Please give us the option to choose our default! I've tried disabling video calling through Control Hub for myself, but as I'm an admin I think it's still allowing me to do so... Very frustrating!

    This is a major privacy issue for multi-tenanted environments where clients call each other and video is forced through.

    Default calling behavior needs to be a setting in Control Hub. This current behavior brings up some major privacy concerns and needs to be addressed.

    Has this feature been added to the Webex desktop app?

    To clarify for the Product team, this refers to on-net calls in particular where calls will be established in Video

    This has privacy concerns if the user unknowing turns on video. Please add this feature.

    Would like to see an option for setting organizational default calling in the Control Hub as well.
