    Google is making more moves into the video chatting space during

    the coronavirus pandemic, now providing its premium video conferencing


    service Google Meet free for consumers. Previously available only to organizations
    using G Suite, Meet is now open to everyone, in a move that puts Google in
    competition with rival video chat service Zoom.

    While Google Hangouts and Duo were previously available for casual video chatting,


    Meet allows up to 100 participants on a call at once, and includes features such as
    scheduling, screen sharing and real-time captioning. 

    How to use Google Meet, free


    To sign up for the free version of Google Meet, go to the Google Meet page. Enter
    your name, email, country and primary use for Google Meet (personal, business,
    education or government). Agree to Google's terms of service, and hit Submit. 

    Once you sign up, here's how to use the free version of Google Meet: 

    1. Go to meet.google.com (or, open the app on iOS or Android, or start a meeting


    from Google Calendar). 

    2. Click Start new meeting, or enter your meeting code. 

    3. Choose the Google account you want to use.

    4. Click Join meeting. You'll have the ability to add others to your meeting, too. 

    And that's it! Happy video chatting.

    The free version of Google Meet requires you to create a free Google account. Video
    calls will have a 60-minute cap, but Google said it won't enforce that cap until after
    Sept. 30. 

    Google also laid out a number of default privacy protections in place with Meet,
    including host controls (like the ability to admit or deny entry to a meeting, and mute
    or remove participants), complex meeting codes and encryption in transit. This
    seems to be taking aim at Zoom, which saw a massive surge in users after
    the coronavirus lockdowns and quarantines started -- but has recently faced a
    number of security issues, including uninvited guests "Zoombombing" meetings. 

    Google is far from the only tech company looking to scoop up some of Zoom's
    business -- Facebook, Skype and Microsoft have all recently released new free
    group video chat features and services. 

    Meet started rolling out its free version earlier this month. You'll be able to use the
    video chat service on the web at meet.google.com and on mobile
    apps for iOS or Android.
