Cisco Phone: Jabber

Introduction

The Cisco Jabber client delivers instant messaging, voice and video calls, voice messaging, desktop sharing, conferencing, and presence for Pace faculty and staff. Importantly, it runs on Windows or Macs giving you several communication services through one interface.

  • Chat – chat with your coworkers
  • Phone – audio and video
  • Presence – see the presence of your coworkers
  • Voice Mail – view your voice mail messages like on your smartphone

Note: The Jabber client is already available on your Window's office computer. Please note, Jabber cannot automatically be deployed to Mac office computers, but you can submit a Help Desk ticket if you wish to have the application installed on your machine. A Help Desk ticket request can be placed for the Jabber client by faculty and staff employee.
