Picture this: You walk into the conference room for your big presentation, open the cover to your iPad Pro, connect with the Cisco system in the room, and use your iPad to share dynamic content controlled by your Apple Pencil. You switch apps into OneNote as your audience asks you questions and they see you writing their questions down. You are definitely going places, and have earned the respect of the room.
Well, you can’t do anything like that with CiscoProximity. All you can do is view the room screen on your iPad, or use it like the control panel in the room.

Proximity allows me to not mess with wires on my Mac to display my screen to the room. Apparently it works that way on Windows. So why not the same functionality on my iPad Pro? I’m surprised, because Cisco Webex has done a great job with iPad support. I’m hoping this feature is added soon, because at the moment - I have to agree with others: What’s the point of CiscoProximity? It only pairs if you’re in the same room (it uses ultrasound to find Cisco systems).

Like others have said, it’s a pretty useless app.
Can’t share any content from iPad/iPhone. You can initiate, answer, and control calls on the endpoint. That’s pretty much it. Less than what can be done with a Touch10.

I can get a small version of the of the large projection in the same room? Proximity means I have to be very close. I can’t imagine sitting just outside the room for the “convenience” of viewing the shared visualizations on my phone. What am I missing?

You can’t actually do anything interactive with this application. It would be great being able to present from an iPhone.

CiscoProximity is only a viewer for what is on the screen and has no way to present content.
by MarkWachtmann
As the others have noted, not being able to share the mobile device screen via Proximity..........what is the point.

CiscoProximity you would expect to behave like Proximity does on Windows, etc. But it doesn’t, it is really just a viewer, not a controller. It should be labeled as such.

Doesn’t work and there hasn’t been an update for 2 years

It will be great if the client have on and off button. It runs in the background

It would be more useful if users can search a person from the phone Contacts and pick a number to call. Currently, the search is almost meaningless.

Initially had issues connecting but later versions fixed stability. For the endpoints that don't support touch panels (SX10s, etc.), this is a nice feature. Much better than the remote.
Could use more features similar to the touch panel, specifically camera control. We will keep using for sure.

As stated in a previous review Proximity works on endpoints running TV version 7.0 and above as long as you activate the feature on the endpoint.
System Config -> Search"byod" -> Turn mode to "on".
Can't wait to see more improvements to this feature. Only 4 stars because I can't search for Jabber Video users in CiscoProximity or control the layout.

I'm able to pair, make calls and see the content of the EX90 on my iPhone and iPad. Also able to save to snapshots. I had to log into the EX90 web page - go to 'Configuration' -> 'System Configuration', then in the search field type 'byod'
The 'Mode' should be turned 'On'.
I'm running version TC7.0 on my EX90 - the site says to use TC7.1.
The phone and endpoint need to be on the same network, or at least routable over IP.
