Google’s Meet video conferencing is now free

SILICON VALLEY: Google has decided to give a tough time to the popular Zoomsoftware as it has introduced the facility of hosting free video conferences on Meet, the business-oriented version of search engine giant’s Hangouts platform.

According to some reports, the company has announced the development in order to compete with rival platforms including Zoom Video Communications Inc, Microsoft Corp’s Skype and Facebook Inc’s Messenger.

Meet, the newer service of Google Hangouts that was launched three years ago, reportedly has 100 million daily users and the company was now trying to attract more to push all other video conferencing apps back.
