Webex
Webex is a team communication and online meeting app for messaging, video calls, meetings, and collaboration across work devices.
What is Webex?
Webex is a business communication app that helps people chat, meet, call, and collaborate from a Mac, phone, or web browser. It is used by organizations and individual users for team messaging, video meetings, voice calling, screen sharing, and joining scheduled meetings. On macOS, the desktop app gives users a dedicated workspace for conversations, meeting controls, notifications, and file sharing outside the browser. Webex is commonly used for remote work, internal team coordination, customer calls, webinars, and hybrid meetings. Cisco offers Webex across desktop and mobile platforms, so users can stay signed in on multiple devices and continue conversations and meetings across them.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Webex is legitimate collaboration software. It may request access to the camera, microphone, notifications, screen recording, or contacts when you use calling and meeting features, and those permissions are normal for its purpose. It can also run background helpers for notifications, calling, or quick meeting access. Use the app only with accounts and meeting links you trust, and review macOS privacy permissions if you do not want it to access audio, video, or screen content.
Recommendation: Keep Webex if you use it for work, school, or meetings, since removing it will stop chat, calling, and meeting features on this Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and then clean up its leftover support files if you want to free space.
