As far as mobile clients are concerned, both Zoom and Google Meet have free apps for Android and iOS devices, so you can video conference from anywhere as needed. Participants can join a Zoom call using their browsers but must currently open the Zoom web client through your browser or the Windows 10/MacOS client. While Zoom is the most popular free videoconferencing software, one notable advantage that Google Meet has is the ability to host a meeting via your web browser of choice. Whether you want a quick video chat with friends and family or need to host 50 or more participants in a multi-meeting conference, both options will serve you well. Since the vast majority of daily users of both Google Meet and Zoom use the free version of both services, we compare them both side-by-side to showcase their unique features and advantages.

Zoom remains the king of the heap, with over 200 million daily users and a bevy of sophisticated features.
