Browser-based video meetings integrated with Google Workspace
Google Meet is Google's video meeting service, usable directly in the browser or in mobile apps without installing software. It integrates with Google Calendar and Gmail for scheduling and joining, and offers screen sharing, live captions, background effects and noise cancellation. Recording, breakout rooms and Gemini note-taking need a paid Workspace plan; personal accounts can host shorter group calls for free.
