New Audio Privacy Feature in WebEx Meetings

[Peter Arment]

There is a new feature in the latest release of WebEx Meetings (40.11.3.3) where when a host tries to unmute an attendee a message is sent to the attendee to unmute rather that the unmute just happening. We have found this to cause some grief with users in meetings. Does anyone know if there is a way to set this feature back to the old way for hosts to control audio?

Currently there is no way around this.  Cisco is planning to add a Host/Moderator role in the future that will disable this need but they have not announced a timeline for when it will be available.

Thanks for your post...

I look forward to Cisco correcting this
