As the theme enhancements above occur, there will be no changes to the High Contrast mode. Improving visual accessibility in our themes like this is so helpful to the many people around the world with low vision. When that time comes, the ‘Black & White’ mode we see in Teams today will no longer be available to users.Īnother key motivation for these changes is Accessibility. This will include the new default light mode and the current dark mode, which is now the convention in both Apps and Desktop Operation Systems. Later this year, we plan to consolidate our themes to two options.
#WEBEX TEAMS UPDATE UPDATE#
If you want to preview this new theme design, you will be able to do so after our August update just by switching to light mode.įollowing these changes, we will be keeping the ‘Black & White’ theme available for a time as a user preference. This is so that both Jabber and Teams users will have the same default user experience. In September, this updated light mode theme will become the default selection for Webex Teams users. This way, should Jabber users decide to start using Webex Teams, they will feel like instant power users.Īvailable in August and becoming default theme in September The main reason behind these subtle changes is that we want a theme that will give our users the option to have the exact same design as Jabber 12.7. The colour of the second column – your space list – will change slightly too, just to a slightly different shade of grey than before. The first column on the left where your avatar will be is going to change to be permanently dark. What we will be doing is taking over the top bar of the app so that the colors of the columns below blend seamlessly up into the header.Īnother thing to mention is that our light theme is going to be changing a little. This won’t directly affect how you work in Webex Teams, but it will make the app look a lot neater. Things are going to look a little… Sleeker. You will notice that this isn’t the only change we’ve made to the top of the app. Webex Teams Design changes in August update. As we add more activities, content and integrations to Webex Teams, we will continue to optimise and improve this space menu design to provide our users with the most efficient way to get work done. Great news for Jabber users who wish to move to Webex Teams, and for those who prefer kebabs to waffles. It might be worth noting that we will also be changing the icon for this menu, changing it from the ‘waffle’, to a three-dot ellipsis. All other space activities will remain in the space menu. For greater visibility and faster access, we will be moving these actions into the space header. Popular actions such as making calls and sharing your screen will now be just one click away. For this reason, we will be making some changes to the in-space activity menu. We know how important it is to be able to take certain actions – such as placing a call – quickly.
All other icons will remain the same as before. While we’re on the topic of the first column, you will also notice that the ‘home’ icon, which ‘houses’ all your spaces and messages, has been updated to be a ‘chat’ icon.
As well as aligning with our other apps, having the avatar menu here makes its contents globally available to users, no matter where they happen to be in the app. This means that this is an important menu to users, and it’s even more important for everyone to know exactly where to find it. This menu provides some key activities access to your people insights profile, the ability to alter your presence status, the option to change your settings or preferences, and more. Let’s talk through the design changes you can expect to see in the August 29 th update of team collaboration tool, Webex Teams…Īs we continue to align with other apps in the Cisco portfolio this August, we will be moving your avatar – and the menu that comes with it – to the first column on the far-left side of the application. As you embark on your journey to the cloud in support of modern workstyles, this will ensure that the costs and challenges of user change management are kept to a minimum. This is to ensure that users have a familiar calling, messaging, and meeting experience, regardless of which app or device they happen to be using. As you may have already heard, we are aligning our design across the Cisco Collaboration App portfolio to deliver a unified, consistent experience for our users.
