Webex bot adapter ships M2 (Jun–Jul 2026). Browser automation against webex.com — lobby + admit, video tile, captions intercepted from Cisco's own captioner. Audio capture via PulseAudio loopback (same path as the Zoom Web adapter).
overview
Why this exists.
Why later, not now. Webex is the third-most-asked platform behind Meet/Teams/Zoom; we're building it second-wave. Adapter is two-to-three weeks of work on top of the existing orchestrator + bot-container scaffolding — selectors per the research-agent reverse-engineering pass we did against *.webex.com/wbxmjrn/sites/. No Cisco SDK or developer-program approval is required because we're using the same web-client browser-automation pattern as the Zoom Web adapter ships today.
Captions are the interesting part. Webex uses Cisco's own captioner with a custom WebSocket transport — we tap it inside the bot's Chrome, the same way we tap Teams' caption events. Audio capture uses a PulseAudio loopback exposing the meeting tab as a virtual mic; per-speaker mapping comes from Webex's WebRTC SSRC allocation joined to the participant-list DOM (Webex's participant list is more stable than Zoom's; we tested).
