Google Meet video calling now integrated inside Gmail to take on Zoom

In a bid to make the video conferencing easily accessible to people, Google has integrated its Meet video conferencing platform directly into Gmail. Some people are already witnessing a link that can launch Meet in the Gmail interface on the left sidebar. It should arrive for other users soon enough. It was available to employees of some companies or some education customers via G Suite. However, according to the recent announcement of the company, Google has made Meet free for anyone who has a Google account. It also allows people to have meetings of upto of 100 people and have no time limits.

After subscribers for Zoom went up, Google has revved up Meet in each and every way possible to take on Zoom. It is to note that Zoom has been the most used video conferencing application as many have been using it for meetings while working from home. In majority areas, people have been working from home for almost two months now in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak. Meet is expected to have some privacy controls which Zoom is lacking. While Zoom has just a dial-in function to join the meeting, Meet on the other hand, works differently.
