Webex vs Mediasoup: What are the differences?
Developers describe Webex as "Connect with anyone, anywhere, any time". Collaborate with colleagues across your organization, or halfway across the planet. Meet online and share files, information, and expertise. Collaborate from wherever you are with WebEx mobile apps for IPhone, iPad, Android, or Blackberry. If you can get online, you can work together. On the other hand, Mediasoup is detailed as "Cutting Edge WebRTC Video Conferencing". Mediasoup and its client side libraries provide a super low level API. They are intended to enable different use cases and scenarios, without any constraint or assumption. Some of these use cases are: Group video chat applications,
One-to-many (or few-to-many) broadcasting applications in real-time, and RTP streaming.
Webex and Mediasoup can be primarily classified as "Web and Video Conferencing" tools.
