Webex Teams, formerly Cisco Spark, is an app for continuous collaboration via video-calls, group-chats, file sharing and whiteboarding. Webex Teams goes beyond the meeting itself, since meetings are just one facette of successful teamwork. The goal of Teams is to unite the entire experience before, during and after the meetings in a single place. These collaborations take place in so-called Spaces. You can create Spaces and invite people to them, who have the same interests or are part of the same projects.
