Meet is a very simple and quick way to video chat with coworkers, friends, and family – assuming everyone has a Google account, which is required for both hosts and participants. In reality, Google is encouraging consumers to utilise its Meet videoconferencing tool instead of Zoom, as well as its previously promoted Google Hangouts app. A Meet link can be found in the Gmail app and in every Google Calendar appointment. Meet also includes several interesting features, such as real-time captions.

Number 4. Skype
Since its beta debut in 2003, Skype has been the go-to tool for one-on-one discussions. Its Meet Now feature (accessible by selecting the “Meet Now” icon on the left side of the app) supports videoconferencing; up to 100 individuals (including you) can meet with a liberal 24-hour meeting time restriction.
There is also a different website where you can create a free video meeting without signing up for the service. However, the app has more capabilities, so if you’re good with registering for a free account, you’re better off doing so.
