That's essentially how Zoom was built. Eric Yuan took everything he learned from supporting WebEx and built a new company and product that does the same thing as WebEx.

Building a new product and company is totally fine. But copying designs is not. And code of course. With 'know-how' it gets trickier. But Zoom doesn't look like a clone, rather just 'another product'. Possibly better.
Zoom does feel like a better copy of WebEx.
Oh it's been years since I've used WeBex - does it have the same layout and button placements as Zoom?
