Ever since virtual events and virtual meetings have become popular, the online event industry is getting new online platforms daily. Online events have become a thing of today, and seeing the current trend, it can be said that online events are going to be the future also. Well, talking about the online event platforms, there are several platforms that we have in the online event industry. One such platform is Webex.
Webex is one of the most popular online
meeting and conference platforms used across various industries and
organizations to host online meetings and connect with audiences. On this
platform, one can host meetings on a larger scale, with up to 100,000
attendees. Though Webex comes with its own free plan and provides several
benefits to the organizers and attendees, we can’t deny the fact that it has
its own disadvantages and limitations.
But, we also acknowledge the fact that
like Webex, all the other online platforms have their limitations. Apart from
that, we have other platforms in the online event industry. This blog is all
about that. Here, we will be talking about the top 6 platforms that are
considered the biggest competitors of Webex in 2022.

biggest competitors to Webex in 2023 is Microsoft Teams. It is another
authentic online meeting platform by Microsoft, which comes with several
features to host meetings in a very professional way. Though Microsoft Teams
