Ford and Lincoln Car Owners Can Soon Join Webex Meetings/ Calls Directly from Their Vehicle's Infotainment System

Cisco and Ford Motor Company have collaborated to introduce the Webex app in Ford and Lincoln vehicles, enhancing productivity for people on the move.

This integration allows users to join Webex meetings and calls directly from their vehicle's infotainment system, with video capabilities when parked and audio-only while driving. The app includes features like AI background noise removal and is designed to transform the vehicle into an alternative workspace¹². This rollout was announced at Enterprise Connect on March 26, 2024.

The Webex app in Ford and Lincoln vehicles is designed to transform the car into a mobile office, offering seamless and secure collaboration for users on the go. Here's how it works:

While Driving

The app operates in audio-only mode to ensure an uninterrupted connection for calls and meetings, similar to a regular Webex call.

Users can join meetings using voice commands or steering-wheel buttons.

When Parked:
  • The app provides a fully immersive meeting experience.
  • Users can view shared content and videos of remote participants on the center display.
  • It allows real-time reactions on the touchscreen to engage in collaboration. 
  • Customizable layouts are available, such as Grid view for up to 6 people or Focus view for a more concentrated perspective.
The app includes features like AI background noise removal and is available for download in select Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with the Ford and Lincoln Digital Experience. Owners can effortlessly log in by scanning a QR code to access their Webex meetings and calls

The Webex app is available to download on Google Play in vehicles equipped with the Ford and Lincoln Digital Experience, including on the all-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus and coming soon on the new 2025 Lincoln Aviator and 2025 Ford Explorer.

The Webex app is now available for customers on the all-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus and is coming soon on the new 2025 Lincoln Aviator and 2025 Ford Explorer.
