With some luck, this setting is now associated with my online Webex account, so that it will be retained if I install the tools on some other computer in the future. Once this is done, no more annoying webex tab. I do not understand what the point is of having a webex instant message start in my web browser, and even less than that in Microsoft Office. There are also some other checkboxes that might best be unchecked. Once the settings program is up, go to the “Tools” tab (where it will for some unknown reason communicate with the server), and unselect the checkbox for integration with instant messaging programs. Open Finder> Applications> Skype for Business and drag it to the Trash. Press Control and at the same time click the Skype icon. You have to start the “Webex Settings” program, found in the start menu by searching for it: To uninstall Skype for Business on Mac, sign out of the app and close the sign in page. However, I finally figured out how to get rid of it. In particular, on top of Skype windows.Īnd I find it very annoying as it breaks with the style of Windows and just adds superfluous and useless GUI chrome. If you can make peace with uninstalling Microsoft Office to get rid of Skype for Business, simply open the Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program under Programs (with the Control Panel in Category view), locate and click on the listing for Microsoft Office, click on Uninstall and follow the onscreen instructions and prompts to go through. However, it came with one annoying side effect: little webex tabs started to appear on select application windows. It really is a very useful piece of software for those of us that do quite a few Webex conferences each week.

I am using the “ Webex productivity tools” at work to quickly schedule and start meetings from within Outlook.
