Ever since the world went into lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, business meetings, classrooms, and friendly hangouts have moved online. Zoom has emerged as the winner among a host of video conferencing apps, with its userbase ballooning over 300 million. Google has been pushing to get its video conferencing tool, Google Meet, in the limelight by constantly adding new features over the past few days. But, it has now decided to go after Zoom with full-force by making Google Meet free to use for everyone.
Google Meet recently introduced a much-requested grid layout, low light mode on iOS and Android, noise cancellation, and a lot of other features to meet the demand of its growing users. Should Zoom worry about Google Meet’s free tier? Almost everyone has a Gmail account nowadays and it will soon come with easy access to a quality video conferencing tool for free.
