Google Meet

Google Meet is a video conferencing platform developed by Google, launched in 2017 as part of the G Suite (now Google Workspace) productivity tools. It allows users to host and join virtual meetings via web browsers or mobile apps, supporting features such as screen sharing, real-time captions, and integration with Google Calendar and Gmail. The service gained significant popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased demand for remote communication solutions, competing with platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Google Meet is known for its reliability, security features including encryption, and scalability for large meetings, making it a preferred choice for businesses, educational institutions, and personal use. It is accessible through a freemium model, with basic features free for individual users and advanced capabilities available through Google Workspace subscriptions. The platform operates on Google's global infrastructure, ensuring low latency and high availability worldwide. As a key component of Google's ecosystem, Meet integrates seamlessly with other Google services, enhancing productivity and collaboration for millions of users daily.
