Webex has built its moat around IT admin controls, while Skype offers a familiar face to folks using it since early 2000s. Both allow you to conduct basic video calls, but they lack modern AI features that are essential for today's teams. Let's put Webex and Skype on the bench, and see how they stack up.
The @Skype icon has been following me for the last 15 years. I don't know how to get rid of this thing. I've tried everything. Deleting the app (obviously) doesn't work. Changing laptop and companies don't work either.
Skype has been here since 2003. That is 20 years. So how come the call button doesn't work?
Video Calling App isn't just a meeting + transcription tool; it takes care of your end-to-end meeting workflow. Organize discussions, automate pre and post meeting tasks and find context. Even if you miss a meeting.
Going beyond the generic sync, integrations are collaborative via remind-me on Slack, update task on Linear, or task planning on GCal, etc.
With tight integrations and AI features, search across meetings, summaries, recordings using advanced filters and contextual search.
Create new tasks or auto-comment meeting updates on your existing tasks without creating duplicates. Supports Linear and Jira, currently.
With features like a whiteboard, reaction wheel, polls, timer, music player, shared notes & more, make your meetings more interactive.
Meeting experience as smooth as butter with keyboard navigation (CMD K), global search, auto-document notes, shortcuts, layered with AI that works for you.
We understand contracts can be tricky. So, if you have 3 months subscription left with your existing tool, you get first 3 months with VCA free.
Don’t wait for email. Get personalised onboarding, completely migration of your existing meeting workflow and direct connect with our team over Slack.

Both lack advanced AI features, comprehensive search capabilities across meetings, and integrations with modern productivity tools; that limit their use cases.
Try Video Calling App; we've built it from the ground up for the needs of a modern team.
Both Skype and Webex have somewhat limited privacy controls when it comes to AI and data usage. They may use data for improving their services, but the extent of this usage isn't always clear. It's always a good idea to check their latest privacy policies for the most up-to-date information.
VCA offers high-def video, AI-powered features like smart summaries and transcripts, and extensive integrations. It prioritizes data privacy and provides a smoother user experience with intuitive navigation, addressing key limitations of Skype and Webex.
A cherry on top: VCA adheres to strict data privacy protocols. We do not use user data for AI model training.
