Your contributors already have the apps and software they trust. Now StudioEdge™ meets them there.
Available from Wednesday, November 4, 2026, the latest update to the award-winning, multi-platform remote guest solution adds WhatsApp (beta) and Cisco Webex support, alongside a major upgrade to its Microsoft Teams integration. First shown at IBC2026 in Amsterdam, the expanded platform picked up a TV Tech Best of Show Award at the show.
The update is free for StudioEdge customers on the Standard, Professional and Enterprise Platform Services tiers. To get it, simply update your existing StudioEdge hardware using the QuickLink Updater.
With these additions, StudioEdge brings contributors from five communication platforms into one professional production workflow: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, WhatsApp and QuickLink StudioCall™. Each guest arrives as broadcast-quality, discrete audio and video, ready for live or recorded productions.
What’s new?
Here’s what the latest StudioEdge platform expansion brings:
Let’s take a closer look at each one, and what it means for your production team.
WhatsApp support (beta)
WhatsApp is one of the world’s most widely used messaging platforms, with billions of users globally. With StudioEdge adding support for WhatsApp callers, production teams can bring guests into their productions from an app those guests already use every day, with the quality and control broadcast environments expect.
WhatsApp support launches in beta as we continue to refine the experience. We’d love to hear how it works in your productions, so please share your feedback with the QuickLink team.
Cisco Webex support
Cisco Webex is a widely used enterprise collaboration platform. With StudioEdge now supporting Webex, production teams can bring Webex callers straight into their productions as broadcast-quality, discrete audio and video.
This gives enterprise and corporate customers greater flexibility, and extends StudioEdge’s multi-platform reach further into enterprise communications. For broadcasters bringing corporate contributors on air, such as executives, analysts or spokespeople, it means one less platform to work around.
Enhanced Microsoft Teams integration
Microsoft Teams support in StudioEdge has been substantially upgraded, opening up new workflow possibilities. New capabilities include:
- Multiple callers from one Teams meeting: Bring several participants from a single meeting into your production.
- Guest-join notifications: Production teams are notified when guests join a meeting.
- Active speaker and screen share: Support for active speaker and screen sharing from Teams.
- Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) support: Compatibility with MTR environments.
One solution, five ways to connect
Remote guests have become a core part of modern production, but producers often find themselves juggling a different workflow for each platform their contributors use.
QuickLink StudioEdge™ brings them together in one place. Whether it’s a breaking-news interview, expert opinions, a panel discussion or a corporate town hall, remote guests can join from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, WhatsApp or StudioCall, and your production team manages every one of them from the same StudioEdge interface, with each contributor delivered as broadcast-quality, discrete audio and video. No switching between apps, and no separate workflow for each platform: just one consistent, professional way of working, with the visibility and control your team needs.
Recognition at IBC2026
The expanded platforms debuted at IBC2026 in September, where StudioEdge was honored with a Best of Show Award from TV Tech. Judged by industry experts, the awards consider innovation, features, value and real-world application in broadcast and professional AV. This year’s award specifically recognized the new WhatsApp and Cisco Webex support and the enhanced Microsoft Teams functionality, building on StudioEdge’s previous Best of Show success.
Ready to experience the expanded StudioEdge™?
StudioEdge was built on a simple idea: production teams shouldn’t have to worry about which platform their contributors use. With WhatsApp, Cisco Webex and enhanced Microsoft Teams, that idea goes further than ever.
And we’re not stopping there. StudioEdge will continue to evolve alongside the changing needs of production teams, so watch this space for what’s next.
The update is available now, free of charge, for StudioEdge customers on the Standard, Professional and Enterprise Platform Services tiers. Get hands-on today by updating your StudioEdge hardware through the QuickLink Updater. On a different tier? Contact the team to talk through your options.
