    Chose Webex Meetings
    I am not a big fan of Zoom but used for some ceremonies. Looks like some old tech, and I feel like it is not secure enough. Webex Meetings look more decent and authenticated, and more secure. CGI uses Teams for all their meetings; it's as good as Webex Meetings.

    Microsoft Teams has been a new addition to our collab tool. Its usage has increased over the last few months due to the pandemic driven needs. Cisco Webex is still the primary platform.
