Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Webex Webinars instead of zoom as it integrates better with Microsoft. This has been extremely useful for video calls and webinars. It works well with Microsoft outlook as well as google accounts. My calendars are synced between the two platforms and webex is able to follow along regardless of where the appointment originated.
