When people around the world are left with no choice but to work from home, every company turned to video conferencing services to coordinate and continue their work from home, along with companies, educational institutions have also started using video conferencing apps to teach their students through online.
Many citizens have also started using video calling apps to talk with their friends and relatives which they can't meet in-person now. That's the reason for the sudden rise in the increased user base of several video conferencing services like Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc. But these apps failed to gain most of the user base around the world.
But Zoom managed to do it as it was firstly free to use and secondly is easy to use, because of this many schools have started to use Zoom to conduct online classes but with this easy to use process came many privacy problems like Zoombombing but Google is trying to avoid situations like this by adding some steps before anyone can join the conference.
From now, anyone with a Google account can start using Google Meet, to avoid situations like Zoomboming, the host of the video conference must allow the members who want to join the conference. Up to 100 people can join the conference at once and the time limit is currently 100 minutes which may get reduced to 60 by September 30th.
Google Meet also added Gallery View which was popularized by Zoom and it was quite a useful feature to say, along with making Google Meet free for all, Google also added a new tier in G-Suite called "G Suite Essentials" which will include Google Meet and Google Drive but will exclude G-mail.
