Webex and rival meetin­g platfo­rms from Zoom and Micros­oft’s Teams are being used worldw­ide as people stay at homeCisco Systems ’s video-conferencing app Webex registered a record 324 million attendees in March, with usage more than doubling in the Americas, as the coronavirus-led lockdowns forced businesses to have employees work from home. Zoom’s daily users ballooned to more than 200 million in March from a previous maximum total of 10 million, the company said here on Wednesday. It was, however, not clear if the number was comparable with Cisco’s due to the different ways the companies calculate meeting attendees. About 73 million meetings took place in March and well over 22 million meetings per week in the last two weeks, Sri Srinivasan added. Cisco said its Webex system, which includes teleconferencing and is older, was fully encrypted.
