Desktop Video at work evolves again--with High Definition!

Recently, WebEx Meeting Center got a makeover, including addition of High Definition Video Conferencing.  From a communication point of view, it's a very high-value improvement.

  1. The image size is larger.  In the standard screen view, the image of the leader is about twice the size of the others that are shown just below it.  If someone else talks, their image is switched to the larger view while they speak. 
  2. The video image of the leader or speaker is also visible when people share the desktop or share the application. 
  3. If a team wants to just talk, the screen can quickly be changed to show video images only--all in larger sizes that are easy to see.
With severe cutbacks in travel, virtual teams can now enjoy a more fluid and natural video conference with one another from the desktop.   Nice work, WebEx!
