Just days after shutting down Spaces, Google has launched a new app. This time it’s a video conference app, 100% dedicated to business meetings. Here’s “Meet.”
Meet isn’t entirely a new app per se. It’s basically the “enterprise version” of Google Hangouts. The app is accessible to G Suite users, and allows them to join HD video meetings.
Although already available as a Web App (Chrome only) and on iOS, Meet is being launched very quietly by Google. In fact, it is not even available on Android yet.
On the web app, you can join in by entering a meeting code, and also see scheduled meetings from your team. However, you cannot start a new video call from the site at this point. The iOS app comes with dial-in numbers for people who can’t access the video conference, but these are limited to G Suite Enterprise Edition users.
Just like Hangouts, Meet also offers group video calls for up to 30 participants, and in HD. Meet also fully integrates with other apps from the G Suite – especially Gmail and Google Calendar.
Although not entirely new, Meet definitely places itself as an easy-to-use, high definition, and secure alternative to Skype for Business.
