Google makes Meet, its Zoom and Skype competitor, free for everyone

Google said Wednesday that the"secure and reliable" software will become available over the next few weeks to anyone with an email address, even if it's not a Gmail account. Meet was previously only available to users of its G Suite productivity tools, commonly used by larger companies and schools.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in its earnings call Tuesday that Meet recently"surpassed a significant milestone" and is adding 3 million new users every day. Usage has increased 30-fold since January and Meet now has more than 100 million daily meeting participants, according to Pichai. Some key features include admitting or denying users into conferences and not allowing anonymous users — both problems that Zoom has attempted to stamp out with software updates. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan admitted that his company has"fallen short" on privacy and security.
