Starting or joining a meeting is super easy with Google Meet, and its easily configurable UI coupled with its chat functionality provides for a seamless experience. It does prove itself useful in classrooms though, especially the free version which can host 100 members, since a single classroom’s strength is usually much less. However, the app is more suited to personal or small-scale use, since even its paid version can support only upto 250 members at a time, and is therefore not fit for large enterprises. The app was formerly known as Google Hangouts Meet. With apps like Zoom and Cisco Webex taking the spotlight, Google put forth its own Google Meet, which comes as a part of Google’s G Suite programs but also has a free to use version. With the ongoing pandemic forcing everyone to stay indoors, video conferencing apps have risen both in importance and popularity.
