Get your network ready for remote work

As more users transition to remote work, they will use Webex Meetings and Webex Teams to make video calls and share content. Make sure you consider the changes in your users’ traffic as you plan to allow remote access to your company’s network.
Read our Help Center article how do I allow Webex Meetings traffic on my network? Read our Help Center article what are the minimum bandwidth requirements for sending and receiving video in Cisco Webex Meetings?
If you want to limit or manage VPN traffic during this time, you could consider these optimizations:
  • While video is a valuable part of remote collaboration, limiting video use to only presenters or key users is a way you can lower the network bandwidth used by the client.
  • Encourage users to disconnect from their VPN to join meetings if traffic over VPN is a concern, especially for large events.
  • Administrators may wish to configure their desktop VPN client to direct Webex traffic to the internet rather than across the VPN tunnel.
  • Administrators who wish to direct Webex traffic through their VPN tunnels should plan for the user bandwidth and ensure all appropriate ports and protocols are opened.
