Even WebEx is still around and, ironically, works much better in a browser than Zoom.

I had a videoconference with some Apple people this month, and they were all on WebEx.

Maybe there's a reason. I couldn't tell you. My company is a hodgepodge of Zoom, Teams, BlueJeans, and who knows what else.

New webex sucks for remote support. It forces me to re-request control every time I paste something. Yes I could manually type everything out but that is a pita when dealing with long Linux commands pulled from documentation.

Is it every time you paste something, or every time you leave the program and focus on another to copy something?

If the latter, and you're using X, it should be possible to write a program that takes the selection buffer and provides a different response to each SelectionRequest in turn, letting you walk through a script pasting a command at a time without having to leave the current window. I don't know whether such a thing already exists.

Also the random hot keys webex picks up. All too often i'll mute myself instead of escape out of edit mode in vi.
