Webex for Developers Newsletter – November 2022

Welcome to the 📰 November edition 🗞️ of the Webex for Developers newsletter. Let’s take a look at the latest happenings with the Webex platform, community, and ecosystem.

📺 Upcoming Developer Webinar 📺

You won’t want to miss the next public webinar: Webex for Developers' Year End Review 2022, where we cover the important new platform features, API updates, and partner stories over the last year.

Head over to the Developer Webinars page to register for the live event or watch the recording afterwards.

✨ Browser SDK Update ✨

The Browser (JavaScript) SDK received a nice update to add Background Noise Reduction (BNR) in Webex audio. This new Browser SDK feature combines advanced deep learning, speech science, and audio processing technologies to distinguish between background noise and speaker voices in any language.

Check out this great blog from Webex Software Engineer, Kesava Krishnan Madavan, to learn all about this new feature.
