Best for Google integrations
It may seem like a cop-out to choose Meet as the best video conferencing software for Google integration. But just think of the vastness of Google Workspace.
90% of startups and over 60% of mid-sized companies in the U.S. use Gmail. So, too, do roughly 22% of the world’s population.
With that in mind, if you’re one of the businesses relying on Google Workspace, you can now create, join, and collaborate on meetings with ease using Google Calendar, Gmail, and other Google Workspace apps.
From a budgeting perspective, Google Meet pricing makes sense, too. The free version caters to 1:1 sessions as well as larger events, allowing up to 100 participants and offering unlimited 60-minute meetings. Plus, adding custom backgrounds helps lighten the mood of your sessions while simultaneously building company culture.
However, this leading video conferencing platform has some challenges, such as a lack of whiteboard-sharing functionality and the inability to track attendance.
Additionally, if you want to make use of Google’s powerful AI tool Gemini for live captioning, note-taking, and transcription, it’ll cost you an additional $20 a month.
