Google Meet is an online platform primarily used for secure video calls, web conferencing, and virtual meetings with friends, family, colleagues, or clients from anywhere in the world[1]. It allows users to start or schedule meetings instantly, join through a link or code, and participate directly from their browser or mobile device with no need for additional software installation[3].
Key uses and features of Google Meet include:
- Group video meetings with up to 100 participants for one hour on the free plan, or up to 1,000 participants and 24-hour meeting length on paid plans[3][6].
- Real-time collaboration tools such as screen sharing, live captions for accessibility, emoji reactions, hand raising, and integrated chat during calls[3][5].
- Integration with Google Workspace—join meetings directly from Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides and schedule meetings via Google Calendar[1][3].
- Recording and transcription for meetings (available to paid users), plus the option for note-taking with Gemini AI[5].
- Security controls including host moderation tools to manage participants, end meetings, and restrict chat or video[3].
- High video and audio quality—up to 1080p video and noise cancellation features for clear conversations[1].
- Flexibility to meet on any device, including smartphones, tablets, and computers[1][6].
Google Meet is popular for both business and personal use, particularly among organizations using Google Workspace due to its seamless integration, affordability, and simple interface[4][8].
