Google Meet (Google Workspace)
#3 in Video Conferencing · Rated 4.6
Simple, scalable video meetings within Google Workspace
Google Meet is the video conferencing component of Google Workspace, integrated with Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Google apps. In 2025 Google raised Workspace pricing modestly while extending AI features to Meet and other apps at no extra charge in many regions, simplifying access to AI-powered notes and captions. Meet supports large meetings up to hundreds of participants, recording capabilities in higher-tier plans, and a clean, browser-first experience with minimal friction for existing Google users. Ideal for teams already using Google Workspace who want a cohesive suite with video, chat, and collaboration in one place. Differentiators include native Google app integration, real-time transcription with multi-language support, and strong browser-based access. Pros include ease of use and calendar integration; cons include reliance on Google ecosystem for best value.
