- You can download JioMeet from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store and use it for both personal and enterprise (business) video calls.

- JioMeet also has apps for Windows, Mac and a plugin for Outlook which can be downloaded from the Mac App Store and Microsoft’s Windows Marketplace.

For those who receive invitations to join a meeting on JioMeet, the video call can also be accessed through web browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox without having to download the app.

- JioMeet can be accessed across devices easily and also allows you to schedule calls.

- One of things Reliance Jio has pointed out is the fact that you do not need any heavy-duty equipment or device to get on a HD-quality call, your legacy devices will do.

google Meet is now available for users who have a Gmail account. With one-third of the world under lockdown, video conferencing apps are the only way to maintain a bit of normalcy in life. While Zoom-the video conferencing app has been on high demand, Google has upped its ante by making its premium video conferencing app free.

Google Meet was launched as a premium app for users who had to pay for the app but the demand for video conferencing apps across the globe compelled Google to make the app free.

“Today, we’re making Google Meet, our premium video conferencing product, free for everyone, with availability rolling out over the coming weeks. We’ve invested years in making Meet a secure and reliable video conferencing solution that’s trusted by schools, governments, and enterprises around the world, and in recent months we’ve accelerated the release of top-requested features to make it even more helpful. Starting in early May, anyone with an email address can sign up for Meet and enjoy many of the same features available to our business and education users, such as simple scheduling and screen sharing, real-time captions, and layouts that adapt to your preference, including an expanded tiled view,” Javier Soltero, Vice President & GM, G Suite said in a blog post.

Javier in the blog post said that Google will be gradually expanding its more people in the coming weeks. This would mean that users will not be able to create meetings at meet.google.com but they will have to sign up to get notifications when the feature is available.

Google claimed that Meet has over 3 million new users every day and its number of daily users climbed up to 100 million last week. “Privacy and security are paramount, no matter if it’s a doctor sharing confidential health information with a patient, a financial advisor hosting a client meeting, or people virtually connecting with each other for graduations, holidays and happy hours,” the blog read.

Google Meet will be available for free on the web at meet.google.com and via mobile apps for iOS or Android. Anyone who has a Gmail account can sign in at meet.google.com to activate their Meet account. Meet can be a good alternative to Zoom as the app allows 100 people to participate in a single video call.

Zoom had ruled the roost for quite some time now and it still continues to do so but the security flaws that were discovered on the app recently hampered its growth to a certain extent.
