Google, Facebook battles with Zoom for video conferencing market

The video conferencing market is suddenly seeing some big action by technology giants including Google and Facebook in a bid to counter the rising popularity of Zoom. While Facebook is releasing a new feature that allows you to video chat with multiple people through Messenger even if you don’t have a social media account, Google has announced that it will offer premium video conferencing product, Google Meet, free for everyone, with availability rolling out over the coming weeks. Facebook-owned WhatsApp is also planning to expand group calls so you can voice or video call up to eight people.
