Skype vs. Webex

Skype vs

Webex

Webex has built its moat around IT admin controls, while Skype offers a familiar face to folks using it since early 2000s. Both allow you to conduct basic video calls, but they lack modern AI features that are essential for today's teams. Let's put Webex and Skype on the bench, and see how they stack up.

Skype has been here since 2003. That is 20 years. So how come the call button doesn't work?

Skype and Webex Compared

It was once a leading video chat app but today offers dated UX and misses out on advanced features for global teams.

The @Skype icon has been following me for the last 15 years. I don't know how to get rid of this thing. I've tried everything. Deleting the app (obviously) doesn't work. Changing laptop and companies don't work either.

Despite its extensive admin controls, Webex offers a complex UX and lacks the advanced tools and capabilities modern teams need.
