8x8 Work
8x8 Work is a desktop business communications app for calling, messaging, meetings, and contact management in one workspace.
What is 8x8 Work?
8x8 Work is a business communication and collaboration app for Mac that brings voice calling, team messaging, meetings, and contact access into one desktop workspace. It is designed for employees and organizations that use 8x8 services for day-to-day communication with coworkers and external business contacts. On Mac, users commonly use it to place and receive business calls, join or schedule meetings, chat with teammates, and manage availability during the workday. The desktop app is also used with receptionist and office phone workflows in some organizations, depending on account permissions. Because it is a native desktop companion to a cloud communication service, many features depend on your company account and administrator settings rather than local setup alone. 8x8, Inc. publishes the app for organizations that want a unified work communications tool across desktop and mobile devices.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
8x8 Work is legitimate business communication software. It may access your microphone, camera, notifications, and contacts-related business information as part of calling, meetings, and messaging, which is normal for this type of app. It can also run in the background or launch at login if you enable that setting so you can receive calls and notifications. If you no longer use 8x8 for work, removing the app is generally fine, but doing so will stop desktop calling, meeting, and messaging features until it is reinstalled.
Recommendation: Keep 8x8 Work if you use 8x8 for business calls, meetings, or team communication. If your organization no longer uses the service or you only use the web or mobile experience, you can remove the desktop app and reinstall it later if needed.
