WebEx and Skype: Is There a Difference?
Yes! Two great tools for different scenarios
With both WebEx Cloud and Skype for Business available to ECU users, how do you pick the right online meeting solution? Both tools share collaboration tools, audio and video options, scheduling through Outlook and a “Meet Now” feature.
However, there are also differences that make the choice clear depending on your requirements. Here’s how you can decide which is the best tool for your meeting.
Skype
Skype is part of the Office 365 download and is available to students, faculty and staff. It is currently ECU’s standard for instant messaging and desktop sharing. It is used to determine another user’s “presence” through Outlook – not available (red), green (available), yellow (away from the computer).
