[cisco-voip] Cisco Webex Meeting Server 1.5

[Adam Blomfield]

The NPAPI issue is not resolved by 1.5 MR2 or by 2.0. It affects all WebEx
products whether they are on-premise or cloud based. There is no solution
for this available or announced. Starting in January for Chrome and
February for Firefox they will be blocking NPAPI plugins (which is what
WebEx uses) by default, but allowing users to selectively enable them.
Chrome has announced that they will completely remove support for NPAPI by
the end of 2014. Firefox has not yet provided a timeframe for complete
removal. The WebEx support pages (linked below) have details on how users
can continue to use the NPAPI plugin after the initial changes, however
this will only work for as long as browsers continue to support NPAPI in
this degraded state... once it goes away completely then a new solution
will be required. Cisco have stated they are working on a next-generation
solution, but have not announced any plans or timeframe yet.
