Google Meet Video meeting | Free for everyone
Video conferencing tool Google meet became completely free and accessible to everyone initially many of the features were only available for G suite users however now everyone has access to this powerful and user-friendly video conferencing tool directly from your free gmail account.
Now you can join and host a meeting with Google Meet directly from your free Gmail account. This is exciting news for everyone from individuals, small businesses to large corporates.
Google Meet is a video conferencing software initially design for corporates, however, it is now a great alternative to other video conferencing tools like Skype , webx and Zoom.
Google also laid out a number of default privacy protections in place with Meet, including host controls like
- Ability to admit or deny entry to a meeting
- Mute or remove participants
- Complex meeting codes and encryption in transit.
This seems to be taking aim at Zoom, which has recently faced a number of security issues, including uninvited guests meetings.
You’ll be able to use the video chat service on the web at meet.google.com and on mobile apps for iOS or Android.
