Webex Gets iPhone Duo Support

You know Duo is popular when even the video conference tool nobody uses gets updated.

Didn't even know Webex was still a thing.

Who still uses Webex?

I get the thrust of most the comments so far—that “nobody” uses WebEx anymore. But that just isn’t true. For one, Zoom is prohibited (for security and compliance reasons) in lots of enterprises and in government organizations. Teams isn’t, but it historically has lacked some of the capabilities that other solutions have. That seems to be changing, or has already changed depending on the feature. Finally, lots of workplaces have long-term contracts and solutions in place that aren’t easily amenable to change. And if you do business with these organizations, you are often forced onto their meetings’ platform.

Cisco doesn’t break out WebEx revenue by itself, but it is a substantial portion of the segment they regularly report under “Collaboration”. These are audited numbers, and people can go to jail if they materially lie. Cisco reports annual revenue of more than $4 billion (US) for this segment. So, clearly, many people still use WebEx, for one reason or another.

Webex is still a thing?

It was so crappy five years ago compared even to Teams, and so far behind Zoom. I thought everybody gave up on it except people at companies that had locked into Cisco long term. And they would as anyone outside the company to schedule the call on Zoom or Teams.

Apparently, as of several years ago at least, Apple internally used Webex for everything. Even though they all had Facetime.

Probably because Cisco owns it and they could keep it extremely corporate locked down.

Came here to say this. Hardly anybody uses Webex but Apple uses it extensively.
