Webex Productivity Tools is a separate package from the Webex Meetings desktop app from WBS39.10. The Windows version of Productivity Tools no longer supports integrations with IBM Lotus Notes, IBM Sametime, Microsoft Lync, Internet Explorer, and Skype for Business from WBS41.2.
Final Webex Productivity Tools release for Windows
The June (42.6) release will be the last release for Productivity Tools for Windows. Microsoft Outlook customers who wish to schedule Webex meetings from Microsoft Outlook should move to the Webex Scheduler add-in.
