In a meeting.

Holy cow, Webex has the absolutely worst audio quality of any system I've heard in a long time. It's been a really long time since that much just "noise" has been on a call. It's like the 1990s.

I did voice in while gaming in the 90s and it wasn't bad.... maybe try the 80s?

We literally only use WebEx for screen sharing, usually while on the (desk)phone with the customer. Hopefully Ring central will be better for that scenario.

moan 1.
was on a 1 hour webex training course just yesterday, they rolled webex out statewide for all schools about 2-3 years back. It's just beginning to be used now.
first they trained everyone up, then they trained the support personnel a few weeks (yesterday) later.moan 2.
watched a taped presentation of a meeting that was cancelled. At one stage the presenter went off at some techs whose school was attacked by ransomware saying if they had done as they were told, to implement offsite backups, they could have recovered. Then went on to say how we all must have offsite backups.- I can't recall ever being told to use offsite backups. 2. there is barely enough money to put PCs on desktops at 90% of schools. 3. most schools have no IT support, if USB HDDs are used, no one will take them offsite.
Presenter then went on to acknowledge all these points and said if you need help with an offsite backup solution to let them know.
There were 2 presenters in this meeting, neither of which introduced themselves.
I think professionalism is just a past thing, I rarely see things done properly or courteously, everything seems to just be half arsed.
That webex training was done by cisco people. It was full of spelling mistakes.
It's easy to look professional. Check your spelling, wait to speak, let others speak, keep what you're saying on topic, introduce yourself, introduce others.
Shit I must be getting old as evidenced by the above.

@scottalanmiller that's apparently what we are switching to. I have no input on those decisions.

Yes, it's the best of the high cost, medium feature range. It doesn't have end to end support, but it lacks very little. It's relatively complete, but uber expensive. Roughly double what a phone should cost if you get above 20 users.
I should say, it cost double what a supported phone should cost. For what it is, it should be under a quarter of its cost, given that it doesn't come with support.

Reading through some blog posts on MeshCentral & MeshCommander Blog
I knew about the consent settings, but this new improvement is awesome.

@scottalanmiller the sales guy prattled on about their support, I guess we will see. And we are probably right at 20 users between here and India.
