Zoom has another competitor: Google Meet video conferencing is now free for everyone

The company says that anyone with a Google account will now be able to gather up to 100 people for a virtual meeting, completely unlimited as of now. Although the video conference may be limited to 60 minutes after September 30, The Verge reports.

However, the Google account requirement is a bit tricky. People will not be able to simply click the link to join the meeting, they will need to be logged in. This agreement is designed to allow virtual meetings to be better managed by your hosts and to avoid any intrusion into them.

Google will also introduce other security measures: people who are not in a meeting with a calendar invitation will be automatically admitted to the “green room” when they try to join the meeting, and will only be admitted once they have been approved by the organizer of the meeting.

This security setting is how Google differentiates its product from Zoom, which has grown in popularity in recent months. Greater focus Zoom has revealed the security challenges that the rapidly expanding company has faced. However, it seems that Google hopes there will still be unreliable Zoom viewers.

When it comes to conferences and correspondence products, Google has its own trust issues. That name was only given to Google Meet earlier this month, before the service was called Hangouts Meet. This is a legacy of Google Blogging and Video Tools’ unfavorable track record that the company is still trying to avoid.

The M360 recalls that last Friday, Facebook also announced the introduction of the Messenger Rooms video conferencing service, which will allow users to hold a virtual meeting with up to 50 people at a time and indefinitely.
