WebEx Data Share
Cisco WebEx services create data streams that vary depending on the type of application being shared, complexity
of the graphics, use of voice over IP (VoIP), use of video, and other factors. WebEx services typically create
network traffic when users actively share slides, desktop, and video; or use VoIP. Simply viewing a slide
presentation does not generate any activity in the meeting and transmits very little network traffic. Intense activity,
such as changing a PowerPoint slide, generates intermittent spikes in network traffic, with a return to low
bandwidth use while there is no activity or no changes on the shared screen. WebEx data sharing provides up to
five frames per second (fps) refresh rate, requiring presenters to use the Streaming Video Share feature for sharing
video from their computers (refer to the next section for details). The Data Share or Presentation Share features
should not be used for streaming a video file during a meeting. Figure 1 illustrates how to share your desktop.

WebEx Video
Cisco WebEx Video allows you to share video by using the web cam attached to your PC or Mac machine, or you
can share and receive it on some mobile devices. High definition (HD) with resolution up to 720p is now available
in Cisco WebEx Meeting Center and Training Center, and high quality (HQ) with up to 360p resolution is available
in other centers. You can review details about WebEx web cam video usage options and supported hardware in
this section. Table 1 lists our video products and their features, and Table 2 lists the video resolutions that WebEx
Video supports.
