Yup. And that should’ve been a lock-in for Cisco, all they needed to do was make/buy something like Teams/Skype and integrate it with their phone systems. Oh, and make their conference solutions not suck. Remote work was already a thing before 2020, so there’s really no excuse for them to not already have a solid solution.
But no, Cisco is largely incompetent. I used to love their hardware, now I avoid it because of the sheer number of exploits, high price relative to value, and competition from alternatives.

They do have Webex Teams.
My experience with it was less than stellar.
Then again, we’re being migrated to MS Teams now, and my first impression is… hot garbage.

Yeah, Webex was somehow worse than Teams. They should’ve just purchased Zoom and then improve the security, that was actually somewhat decent.
