WebEx is such an abomination of software I will never use it again.

guess what, if you use the WebEx chat program it saves your entire history in an encrypted sqlite db that you can't access after your company stops using WebEx.

Are you talking about the Cisco Spark chat program? If so, I can completely believe it. That thing is a piece of garbage.

I don't think so. It was a previous program that I guess they discontinued. The real story is that WebEx chat client was auto-upgraded to something called "WebEx Jabber" and there was definitely a server storage aspect of chats. But no plan for what to do with locally stored chats. Sucks to lose your chat history, lots of gems in there.

I use WebEx daily and have almost no issues. That said, I work for a very large company and we have our own instance, so maybe we have something custom.
