I was thinking the same thing, but... I use Sky
Post# of 32635
I use Skype multiple times a day and have for years. It comes with Office 365 and many large enterprises subscribe to those suite of tools because they are used to using Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint, Word, SharePoint, etc.
The growth of O365 and the number of users is staggering. In April it was 180 million users.

Is VERB Live going to replace Skype which is renamed Teams now? Maybe
Is it going to replace Zoom? Maybe
Is it going to replace WebEx? Maybe
BTW, Cisco bought WebEx for $3.2 billion dollars 12 years ago which was 10 times revenue.
So what's with the Maybe redspeed?
As you said, at this point we don't know enough, but what I do know is
VERB Live is competition for some of them
I know absolutely some of the direct sales companies use Zoom
Zoom has a number of products and guess what?
One of them is a webinar product
It looks like it can scale up to 10,000 participants
You can add additional host, but with just 1 host and 10,000 distributors online, it's $6,490/mo or $64,900/year
That's a lot of money VERB can make in the webinar space
Even just 1,000 participants is $3,400/year and I think some of these direct sales companies would have more than that on the calls
Now why would they which from Zoom?
Well, for one the interactive video technology.
On a lot of these webinars, they are talking about their products, new products, compensation,etc.
Why not making it engaging and give people something to look at other than you mug?
The second reason is, you want your distributors to use the app. Why have them use a different tool for these webinars?
The third reason is you want your distributors to do webinars as well. What better way for them to get a feel for it, then to be on the receiving end of a webinar
Zoom is free to join so anyone here can check it out. I did. If you have 3 or more people on the call, they set a 40 minute limit to get you to buy.
WebEx has a webinar product, but you need to call to get pricing.
Microsoft uses Skype Meeting Broadcast. I've been at companies the last 30 years that mostly use Microsoft and not once did I ever see anyone use a Microsoft webinar solution. They always used something else so not sure if Microsoft's solution even works.
Webinar software is not something that is easy to do. Often it would take down a companies network if many people were in offices watching. The multicast has to be done right. In the case of direct sales, it may not matter so much if everyone is in a different location. Seems like VERB has had some kind of technology breakthrough though. Will be interesting to watch yet another product grow and get integrated into everything.
