Introducing the Fastest Join Experience in Webex Meetings
Join With as Few as One Click
It now takes fewer steps – as few as one – and just seconds to get into your meeting. The key change in improving your join experience is the audio and video selection step now happens BEFORE you enter the meeting and the enhanced speed at which this is launched. In a large preview window, you can easily choose to join audio muted or unmuted, video on or off, or using your favorite video device. Those preferences can be stored in the desktop app so you can bypass the selection process altogether the next time you join and go straight into the meeting with just one click.
Simple, Complete Download for First-Time Users
There’s also a new and easier installation process for first-time users who don’t already have the desktop app. First-time users now have the simplicity of a single and fast install that includes both the pre-meeting and in-meeting experience without any admin rights required. Clicking the join button from the invitation installs Webex while simultaneously connecting to the meeting, so the process is fast and seamless. Of course, as always, users can opt for the Webex Meetings web page or join via the Web App if they don’t want to or can’t download.
Introducing the Big Green Button in Your Email Templates
You will notice improvements to the Webex Meetings join experience starting with the meeting invitation, which features new aesthetics that call your attention to the big green button. The new aesthetics support an easy-to-read, consistent look and feel regardless of how or from where the meeting is scheduled. Just click the big green join button from your meeting list or invitation email. Your system will know whether you have the desktop app installed and automatically launch it.
The new Webex Meetings join experience is supported with the Webex Meetings 39.8 update, so be sure you are on the latest version.
For more information on the new join experience and other features from our upcoming software update, please visit the Webex Help Portal– What’s New in Webex Meetings Suite (WBS39) – and click on “WBS39.8.”

I definitely have NOT experienced what is referenced in this article. It takes longer to bring up the app, more steps to connect, and even slower than before.
Please replace whoever has been designing you last few releases. I haven't been happy for a long while neither has the customers that I work with.
Thanks, for your feedback, Julie. This new experience is being rolled out to production for customers starting this week. If you are not experiencing this, you might check in with your IT team to make sure your organization is on the latest version of Webex Meetings — 39.8.
