Integrate Webex Meetings with Amazon S3

Cisco® Webex Meetings?

Cisco® Webex Meetings is a service that allows users to meet with others through computer screens and speakers via the Internet. It can be used for meetings, presentations, classes, and conferences. Users can share their desktop, whiteboard, or any other applications that can be run on a computer. It also allows the users to share their screen with other participants at the meeting.

Amazon S3?

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3. is a storage service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS. It provides object storage through web services interfaces, such as HTTP and RESTful APIs, making it simple to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. The service has an unlimited number of data transfers.

Integration of Cisco® Webex Meetings and Amazon S3

From integrating Cisco® Webex Meetings and Amazon S3, users will be able to minimize the cost of video conferencing. This will be achieved using Cisco® Webex Meetings’ video bridging feature, which allows users to connect to meeting rooms without the need for dedicated hardware. This feature utilizes Amazon S3’s high availability and scalability to provide low-cost video bridging services.

There are two ways to integrate Cisco® Webex Meetings and Amazon S3:

The first way is to set up a new meeting room in Cisco® Webex Meetings and configure it with the AWS CloudFormation template provided by AWS. The CloudFormation template will create an Amazon S3 bucket with the meeting room’s name (e.g., my-webex-room), providing the room with storage for its content. A user can then download the template file from AWS and modify it according to his/her needs before running the template via the AWS conspe. Once the template has been created, all of the video content of the meeting room will be stored in the newly created bucket. If users want to pull out any of the videos for archiving purposes, they can first copy them out of the bucket on their own before deleting them from the bucket or creating another meeting room with the AWS CloudFormation template. Note that this process will incur costs related to data transfer fees if users are not using an AWS Free Usage Tier account.

The second way is to set up a new meeting room in Cisco® Webex Meetings and configure it directly with an existing Amazon S3 bucket. An administrator may use this method if there are already existing Amazon S3 buckets that he/she wants to use for storing video content. This method requires no modification of CloudFormation templates or any special configuration of Cisco® Webex Meetings. All that is needed is an administrator’s AWS account credentials. Note that this method is currently only available for organizations that have not created more than 100 meeting rooms on Cisco® Webex Meetings.
