# Virtual Events 1.9.0

### Summary

Feature Release

This update to Virtual Events 1.9.0 features a brand new integration with Webex for virtual events!

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.

---

#### ✨ New

New features included in this release:

- We added an option to generate a Webex meeting from the event editor and display meeting details on the event.
- You can now connect existing Webex Meetings to your events using the new ‘Smart’ URL field.

---

#### ✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

- We fixed a high number of YouTube or Zoom user API calls by switching to a persistent cache.
- We resolved an issue that would cause the **Show to** setting to default to everyone even if unchecked.
- We fixed an error that was previously generated when adding an alternative host with Zoom meetings.
