For information about supported browsers for Teams on the web, see Web clients for Microsoft Teams. Since version 0.109.0 of webex & @webex/plugin-meetings, Participant email has been removed to reduce PII. Please use participant identity ( members.membersCollection.membersid.participant.identity ) to lookup participant details via the /people endpoint. As an administrator you can install Webex using the MSI file on Windows or the DMG file on Mac. You can include command line parameters with the MSI file on Windows to improve user experience. Webex periodically checks for newer versions to automatically upgrade the app.
MESSAGING & APP EXPERIENCE
Use Webex Teams in a Windows or Linux Virtual (VDI) Environment (Windows)
We’ve now added support for Webex Teams in a Windows or Linux virtual (VDI) environment. You can use all the built-in messaging, meetings, and calling functionality that you’re used to. Extra calling features are also available if your administrator has enabled them for you.
Mobile gets a makeover (iPhone, iPad and Android)
We’ve made some improvements to the design of the mobile app. Your profile picture, search area and device connection now remain at the top of the app as you move through each tab. There is also a new floating button for quicker access to tasks such as creating a space or sending a direct message.
Reactions that move! (Windows, Mac, iPhone iPad and Android)

Resize your app to be as small as you like (Windows and Mac)
Minimum size has been reduced and you can now resize the Webex Teams app to be as small as you like, making multitasking that much easier. Note that some elements may look unusual when the app is reduced past a certain size, and this is expected.
Add up to 30 people at once (Windows and Mac)
We’ve made it easier for you to bulk add people to a space or a team. You’ll be able to copy a list of up to 30 people and their emails from either Outlook or from Excel and paste them into any Add People input area in Webex Teams, including Create a Space, Create a Team and the People tab within an existing space. When you paste the email list, the 30 users are staged (you’ll see their profile pictures) for you to review and confirm before clicking ‘Add’.
Add links to your messages (Mac)
Today, you can add a link to text in Webex Teams through mark-down. We’ve improved that experience for you and made it a lot easier to insert a link into a message. You can now select an option to insert a link from the Format Text menu, this will pop up a new dialog box where you can add a link and edit the text of the link that you want to display in your message.
New faces & illustrations! (iPhone, iPad and Android)
You’ll be able to enjoy some of our new friendly characters and illustrations on the Space list, Open Search, Search results, Calls, and Filters.

When you have an unread space and you’re not sure if you want to open it or not, you can now ‘peek’ inside the space to see the most recent message there. To use, simply long press on a space and the preview will appear.
MEETINGS
See more people at the same time (Mac)
It’s here! The long-awaited grid view for Webex Teams meetings will be landing into your Mac app this June. You’ll now be able to see up to nine people at once during a meeting, making it that much easier to collaborate. The option will be available on the top right of your meeting window.
