Pros & Cons
What We Like
Seamless Google integration
One click from Calendar or Gmail to join—no app needed, meetings just start in your browser.
No downloads required
Entirely browser-based means anyone can join instantly without installing software or plugins.
Generous free tier
60-minute meetings with up to 100 participants for free—better than Zoom's 40-minute limit.
Strong security
Enterprise-grade encryption and Google's security infrastructure protect your meetings.
What Could Be Better
Fewer features than Zoom
Missing some features like breakout rooms (limited), virtual backgrounds (limited), and advanced webinar tools.
Best in Chrome
While other browsers work, you'll have the smoothest experience in Chrome, which may frustrate Firefox or Safari users.
Limited third-party integrations
The ecosystem of apps and integrations is smaller than Zoom's extensive marketplace.
