Review : google meet by google llc. google meet is simple and very less size and secure compared to any other video conferencing apps it does provide all the features required to be a complete video meet app but what it lacks is the video quality seems low compared to zoom & the data usage is higher than zoom in google meet, except this things google meet certainly good.

Review : zoom by zoom.us is simple & clean but higher in size but provide all the features but only limit 100 users while in google meet it is 250 + users in terms of features & optimisation, video quality and data usage zoom is alot better than google meet.
Overall, both of apps are very similar it is best to decide yourself and decide but in our review we think zoom cloud meetings is better, however it doesn’t support 250+ members so opt based on your requirement and preference.
Finally, which app you prefer the most google meet or zoom cloud meetings do mention in our comment section below, see ya 🙂
