Google account with several betting within the territory of video calling. We have Hangouts, the most veteran of all although undergoing some changes, and we also have a Duo, their video exclusive to mobile phones. But on the business side, the flagship product of Google is known as Google Meet.
We say business because the Meet is so closely tied to Google accounts Suite, aimed at businesses and corporations. But in the midst of this global pandemic, and with competition climbing and taking advantage quickly, Google just decided that the Meet is open to any user of its services. Only will be necessary, therefore, to have a Google account to be able to use it.
Video of Meet for all the users of Google
As we say, Meet was born as the solution for video calls for the branch business of users, one that has gone long since to their Google accounts Suite of payment, among which we also find the accounts of the Google Suite for Education, with advantages such as access to Google Classroom, among others. Recently, however, the Meet gave the step to free himself for all users of the Suite, not just the payment.
Now, the next step is the face-planting directly to solutions such as the recent Zoom or Jitsi Meetor to veterans the level of Skype or its own Hangouts, or newcomers such as Messenger Rooms. Meet is now fully openand to be able to create a video conference with the service only you will need to have a Google account active. A Google account either, you need not be Google Suite.
Only you will need to have a Google account active and logged in
Video calling, now in the open, Google Meet offer simultaneous conversations with up to 100 participants and without time limit. In addition, Google has promised to continue incorporating various security measures, such as different controls are applied by the creators of the video. We’ll just have a Google account active, have the browser session open with her and ready, we will be able to create meetings on Meet and join those created by other participants.
For the moment, it seems that the top of this “gratuity” is set at the 30 of Septemberas other measures taken by the team of Google in the last few weeks. But until that arrives, video calls with up to 100 participants and without time limit for all. For all users of Google, of course. We’ll see how it evolves in time, perhaps we are witnessing the first step of the disappearance of Hangouts in the near future. It will depend, we suppose, of how to work this movement.
