HP is among the latest, which last week introduced its Presence systems, with native support for Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Also, other hardware providers are increasingly making it easier to configure their wares for multiple video meeting services. Look for the interoperability improvements in RoomOS 11, Patel said.Ĭisco has long refrained from allowing its room systems to work seamlessly with rival services.

RoomOS, which includes Control Hub, is cloud-based software that provides management and connectivity to Cisco’s Webex Rooms devices. The interoperability will come to Cisco Webex when the company releases the next version of its Room Operating System software. “In fact, we’ve prebuilt integrations with numerous different SaaS applications, and many, many more to come.” Webex RoomOS 11 “Not only can third parties integrate into the Webex experience, but Webex can now be embedded seamlessly into these third-party experiences,” he said. Patel added that all of the capabilities of Webex are available for open API’s and SDKs. “Now, we’re equally committed to seamlessly integrating our software as well,” he said. While Webex devices support standards-based interoperability with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and others, he said this will enhance those experiences.Īlso, Patel revealed that Cisco is working with Zoom to improve interoperability between Webex devices and the Zoom meetings service. “We’re very committed to having an open ecosystem where we can also deliver native integrations with other video conferencing and meetings products,” Patel said. Patel said the conferencing interoperability effort is part of Cisco’s strategy to provide “unified experiences” among its devices, sensors, security products and management dashboards. Jeetu Patel (pictured), EVP and GM of Cisco’s security and collaboration business units, revealed the plan during his WebexOne keynote. The compatibility promises to make it easier to configure conferencing solutions using Cisco Webex hardware and competing video meeting services.Ĭisco is tacitly acknowledging that it can grow its Webex business with a more heterogenous approach connectivity to rival services.
The news is a major win for Cisco conferencing hardware partners and customers. Once resistant to such a move, Cisco revealed Tuesday during its WebexOne virtual event that it will enable the interoperability. The stocks is down 55% in the year up to Friday close.Cisco conferencing hardware, now tied with its Webex services, will soon work bidirectionally with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.
Shares of the pandemic darling was up 1% to $83.43. Last month, Zoom cut its annual profit and revenue forecasts as demand cools off from pandemic highs. The company, which competes with WeChat Work, Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx and Slack, faces an uphill task of onboarding high-paying clients to sustain its growth at a time when several firms are shifting to hybrid work. Zoom was a little-known company when the pandemic hit in early 2020, but posted triple-digit revenue growth at the peak of the crisis as people stuck at home took to video-conferencing to communicate. The featured will be released by the end of the month. Zoom's app, now known as Zoom Team Chat, will also include features such as the ability to share in-meeting chat to Team Chat, schedule a meeting from chat or channel. Zoom Video Communications Inc said on Monday it has renamed its chat product and added some features, including third party integration, as it looks to compete with rivals including Microsoft's Teams and Slack.
