About Google Meet
Google Meet is Google's video conferencing service, built into Google Workspace and available free to anyone with a Google account. It runs in the browser without downloads, and mobile apps cover phones and tablets. Its core job is to make joining a meeting as easy as clicking a link in Google Calendar or Gmail.
Meet offers HD video, screen sharing, live captions with translated captions on some plans, noise cancellation, background blur and replacement, raised hands, chat, polls, Q&A and breakout rooms. Higher Workspace tiers add recordings saved to Google Drive, attendance tracking, larger meetings, live streaming and Gemini features such as automatic note-taking that writes meeting notes into Google Docs. Companion mode lets in-room participants join from their own laptops, and Google Meet hardware supports conference rooms. The free plan allows group calls up to 60 minutes and longer one-on-one calls; paid Workspace plans, priced per user per month, extend duration, participant limits and features. The interface is available in Turkish.
Google Meet is the natural default for organizations already on Google Workspace, because it costs nothing extra and integrates with Calendar, Gmail and Drive. Zoom remains stronger for large webinars, events and advanced meeting controls, Microsoft Teams is the default for Microsoft 365 organizations, and Whereby offers simple branded rooms for client calls.
