In 2019, HBO embedded Cisco Webex Meetings on its website. HBO implemented Cisco Webex Meetings, an Audio Video and Web Conferencing application, to provide browser based meeting and live session capabilities supporting corporate communications and external facing meeting workflows.
The deployment centered on the Cisco Webex Meetings web client and an embedded meeting widget, configured to host scheduled and ad hoc video sessions, screen sharing, participant controls, and session recording that are typical of Audio Video and Web Conferencing platforms.
