[cisco-voip] R: Content Sharing with Proximity

[Dana Tong]

Correct. It uses the Proximity for pairing, and then IP (https) for content sharing. On-Prem sends a token with the IP address of the unit.

I was actually hoping the token would be FQDN and that maybe one day they could use the reverse proxy in the Expressway to connect via the Internet.
In the current iteration of Proximity for on-prem, you have to be on the customer wifi and allow access to the endpoint which is not ideal.

I guess the plan is for people to register all their endpoints to the cloud and use Webex Teams with Hybrid Services.

Cheers

I was under the impression is that proximity (UHF audio) is for pairing only - any content sharing (and control) is via IP/HTTP. Regardless of app and/or call control.

Proximity on Webex Devie is only for coupling.

You need wireless or wired connection to internet from the source device (laptop, smatphone, tablet, ecc..), in that way you can share content to the Board or a video device coupled by proximity.

Tested!

Oggetto: Re: [cisco-voip] Content Sharing with Proximity

The clients are supposed to redirect you to each other (if they are both installed).

I don’t think the Webex meetings app is smart enough to share via Proximity, if you have a wired connection to a room system it will ask if you are sharing via the room.
I’ve only seen it detect a video system for sharing when I’m physically connected (via HDMI), and honestly I think you will get a better experience sharing natively with the Meetings app.

My bad. It looks like Share from an on-prem endpoint is Cisco Proximity only.

I might suppress the Webex Meetings App on the desktop and just use Proximity and Jabber.

I did have a thought once that maybe they could use the http reverse proxy Expressway and send the fqdn of the endpoint for on-prem devices and proximity access via the Internet but I guess the way forward is to move all these endpoints to the cloud.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Content Sharing with Proximity

Hi all,

Just wondering what your thoughts on content sharing and proximity were.

I have a customer here now with all the bells n whistles.

They have:
CUCM with video phones, Room Series endpoints, Jabber for Windows, Jabber for mobile devices.
They have Webex and they have Webex Boards. All the endpoints are CUCM registered. And they have two Webex boards which are cloud registered.

Originally, the customer was going to deploy the stand-alone Cisco “Proximity” app.

The customer can join video conferences using Jabber dialing the SIP URI, or using the Webex Meetings App. The new Webex App has a version of Proximity now in it.
Is this purely just for endpoint detection so that Webex can “call my video system”? Or can this be used for content sharing?

I know that when in a video conference you can share your screen using the Webex app.
But (without introducing too many “chat clients” on the desktop), can they use the Webex app for content sharing to a CUCM registered  endpoint when not in a Webex Meeting?

Ie they don’t want to use Webex Teams. Or will they have to install Proximity to all devices? But Proximity won’t work for the Webex Boards, or will it?

Cheers
Dana
