That could possibly change the way we manage our time and the way we work overall. It has now become a priority to keep those group meetings short and sweet, prioritizing efficiency and meeting pre-planning over slow, dragging sessions. We’re not sure who’d be on call for 24 hours in a row though. That’s longer than Zoom’s 40 minute cutoff, and the limit only applies to calls with three or more participants – so those 1-on-1s can still last up to 24 hours. Now it seems that in order to retain a sustainable profit model, Google has returned the 1-hour limit to video calls on free user accounts. This makes Google Meet so appealing to the approximately 3 billion minutes’ worth of video calls performed on the site daily. Safety features include but are not limited tothe following: host controls, randomized meeting codes, encryption, no plug-ins, dedicated apps, and collaborations with cybersecurity arms within the Google ecosystem. All this is done on a secure foundation that ensures user privacy over anything else.
What makes Google Meet such a desirable platform for videoconferencing anyway? Users get full access to not only camera-on chats, but also real-time screen sharing, captions, and a bevy of other smart features. Now that things are beginning to normalize though, the company is looking to bring back the paywall including the 1 hour limit for video calls from free accounts. In an act of goodwill, Google Meet and its premium-locked features were made totally free for everyone. Videoconferencing became the primary method of communication to maintain some sort of normalcy, whether this be for work purposes or personal calls with family and friends.
There were no preparations for remote work on such a scale but health restrictions and lockdowns left businesses with no other choice.
When the pandemic struck, the world was stunned.
