Google Meet
is an online videoconferencing tool. The solution enables users to make video calls with up to 250 users per high-definition video meeting that can be recorded.
The application (computer or mobile device) allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number.
Google Meet integrates with G Suite versions of Google Calendar and Gmail and shows the complete list of participants and scheduled meetings.
It shows a Join button for users to connect to the meeting and provides options to mute and turn off the video during the meeting.
