The Webex Meetings App is being replaced with the Webex App. On March 31st of 2023, Webex will discontinue their Webex Meetings application. This is being done to promote migration to their newer application, Webex (formerly Webex Teams). Users may transition to the Webex application at any time. 

The Webex app offers all the same meeting capabilities and features that you are familiar with in the Meetings app, but includes other features including asynchronous chat/messaging, Team creation capability and more.

The old Webex Meetings App icon and the new icon. New icon does not have a calendar icon.
