Thanks Dev.<br>

They forgot to add "bla bla bla" at the end of their sales pitch.
The software is still unbelievably cumbersome to use and lacks so
many features. It's been years that I have used Webex and it's not
had any major improvements ever since it was launched. ICANN's now
started using Webex for its meetings and although some of the
difficulty is people having to adjust to Webex, it is still hard to
use, works extra poorly on tablets & phones, and lacks many of
the features which Adobe Connect had.<br>
I gather the sales pitch which includes "artificial intelligence"
forgot to mention "blockchain" - together these terms are used to
define any technological system that will save the world (tm).<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>

make it easier for teams to meet and get great work done,

application for your meetings and a new seamless team
collaboration application called Webex Teams (formerly Cisco
Spark). We are putting all our award-winning video devices
onto this newly converged platform. And we’re adding a new
hardware device that turns any work space with a TV into a
Webex room. We didn’t stop there. We’re making everything
easier to buy. And we’re continuing to apply machine learning

meetings as we know them today.“</span><br>
