Over the past few years, the use of video conferencing tools has significantly increased, and virtual meetings have become essential to keeping us connected. But with the new way of working, we often spend hours in meetings everyday so it’s important to make sure the time spent in meetings is as productive as it can be. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can use Webex Meetings to increase your effectiveness, boost your productivity, and provide an equitable experience for everyone before, during, and after the meeting.
Webex Meeting is a simple, modern, engaging, and intelligent video conferencing tool. It connects teams across continents and bridges the gap between physical and virtual workplaces. Today, millions rely on Webex Meetings to connect, communicate, and collaborate in real-time with people inside and outside the organization.
With Webex Meetings, you can focus on what’s important, rather than things like how to join a meeting, taking notes, sending out meeting recaps and assigning action items. With state-of-the-art innovations such as recordings and transcriptions, immersive sharing and gesture recognition, background noise removal and voice optimization, you can engage and stay productive no matter the location, language, or your communication style. Let’s dive in more into some of these features:
5 ways to make your meetings more productive and effective
1. Intuitive way to join any meeting – take Webex with you anywhere, on any device
With Webex, you can get work done from the office, home or while on the go using the Webex App. You can easily join meetings on your laptop, phone, Webex Device, or your car’s infotainment system and collaborate with crystal clear video, audio and interactive features that let you continue your work everywhere.
2. AI in action in every meeting – eliminate distractions by removing Background Noise
We all have had experiences with noise during meetings that distract us or completely obscure words or phrases that are said in the meeting. Webex Noise removal intelligently listens to the audio on a meeting and removes distracting sounds in the background. Webex also enhances your voice to make sure you can hear and be heard clearly. Next time, you are working from a noisy environment, don’t forget to turn on this setting in your Webex Meetings.
3. Equitable experience for everyone – eliminate language barriers with Real-Time Translations and Closed Captioning
Ever been in a situation where you don’t understand your colleague’s language, or the language barriers made communications difficult? Webex’s real-time translation lets you translate these conversations in more than 100 languages. You can also turn on closed captioning and keep the conversation going with participants from different language backgrounds.
4. Let the AI Assistant do the heavy lifting – stop taking notes and action items
When in a meeting, you no longer have to worry about taking notes and action items. At any point during your meeting, you can turn Webex Assistant on to enable AI note-taking capabilities. Automatic note taking will capture the meeting highlights for you so you can spend less time managing and more time focused on the outcome.
5. Boost your productivity and efficiency – post Meeting “Catch Me Up”
Webex meeting summaries will let you quickly catch up on missed meetings by giving you the outline of the meetings with key points and action items. You can customize these summaries to focus on specific points such as mentions of certain people or projects. This will save you hours spent listening to a meeting recording or the transcript to catch up or identify action items.

I hope you leverage these tips in your next Meeting. You’ll also see these groundbreaking innovations not just in Webex Meetings but across all other workloads in the Webex Suite.
