Summary AI Generated

Webex Calling users on Windows and VDI experienced an issue where launching the Webex App only displayed the limited Webex Calling Dock instead of the full desktop application, preventing access to messaging and meetings features. The incident affected the Webex App, calling and meetings functionality, and messaging capabilities for 44 minutes. Engineering identified and resolved the issue through remediation activities, with users able to use the Webex Web App as a workaround during the outage.

Engineering is investigating an issue impacting the Webex App for Desktop for Webex Calling users. When users launch the Webex App, they only see the Webex Calling Dock, which does not have options for messaging and meetings. The Webex App for Desktop is not launching. This issue appears to be exclusive to Webex Calling users on the Webex Desktop App for Windows and VDI. As a workaround, users can use the Webex Web App - https://web.webex.com/. We are working towards restoring services and apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
