Lightweight Webex Client

Having a lightweight and less resource intensive webex client would be greatly appreciated by some of us working remotely on lower bandwidth networks and potentially underpowered laptops.

    I would love a lite version of the webex client.

    We use it mostly as a text chat app and it extreamly bloated for that purpose.

    My work laptop only has a 120GB boot SSD and I have to commonly uninstall/reinstall the webex client as it swells to 5-10GBs in size as it keeps every update and version of it's self downloaded. Even when idle in the background it is high in the process list for CPU usage and Battery usage (it gives Chrome it's run for the money but I use chrome).

    So I would love to see a cut down low resource version of the app or even better a web version that does not need to me installed.

    We have team members who struggle with this same issue. They have to call in by phone and use the attachment that I send to them. This really impacts their ability to stay connected and focused on the meeting content. It's especially challenging when the meeting is for training. I'd love to see this "light" feature made available.
