Google Meet vs Zoom: Free Plans Compared
Google Meet vs Zoom: Availability
Since video conferences are no longer limited to desktops and laptops, both Google Meet and Zoom are available for mobile devices based on Android and iOS. Google Meet is also accessible directly through Chrome and other modern browsers and doesn’t require any additional plugins. You just need to visit meet.google.com to host a meeting. Similarly, you can participate in a scheduled meeting by visiting its link in your eligible browser. This isn’t the case with Zoom as it doesn’t allow you to host a meeting through a browser. Nevertheless, you can join a meeting via your browser. There are also plugins for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that you can use to schedule your meeting.
Google Meet vs Zoom: Meeting Time, Participants limit
Google Meet is arriving for free to everyone in the coming weeks. Likewise, Zoom already has a free version. But just like other freemium offerings, the free versions of Google Meet and Zoom both have some limitations. Google Meet will offer a meeting limit of 60 minutes for free users. This means that you can’t hold a virtual meeting for more than 60 minutes if you’re using the free version. However, the time limit isn’t in place until September 30. Zoom, on the other hand, provides a 40 minutes limit on group meetings under its free option.
On the part of participants limit, both Google Meet and Zoom let you host up to 100 participants for each of your virtual meetings.
Google Meet vs Zoom: Security
Security is one of the key aspects that make Google Meet significantly different from Zoom. The latter has also lately been in the limelight for security concerns and even recently released Zoom 5.0 to address some of them. To give some perspective, Google Meet supports multiple 2-step verification options for user accounts and adheres to IETF security standards for Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) and Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP). Meet also generates a unique encryption key that only exists as long as the meeting runs and is transmitted in an encrypted and secured RPC (remote procedure call) when the meeting is set up. In contrast, Zoom uses the AES 256-bit GCM encryption standard that is touted to be enabled across all accounts by May 30. We’ve, however, still seen issues such as Zoombomings surfacing on the Web.
Google Meet vs Zoom: Interface
Zoom is popular for its Gallery view that displays up to 49 participants on a single screen. However, Google Meet recently mimicked that interface by enabling an expanded tiled layout that simultaneously shows up to 16 participants at once. Google also recently added a low-light mode that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to adjust video on the basis of lighting conditions. The feature is initially limited to mobile users, though.
Google Meet vs Zoom: Screen sharing
Both Google Meet and Zoom provide the ability to share your screen with attendees of your virtual meeting. You can also enable real-time captions to understand what other participants say during the call.
Google Meet vs Zoom: Recording
Zoom allows you to record meetings in MP4 (video) and M4A (audio) formats that you can store locally on your system. This is unlike Google Meet that doesn’t allow recording of virtual meetings for free users. However, if you’re a paid G Suite Enterprise or G Suite Enterprise for Education editions, you can record meetings seamlessly. Notable, the recording support will be available for free users until September 30 on Google Meet.
