Last month, Microsoft shared that Skype’s daily active users were up 70% to 40 million. That’s still a far cry from Zoom’s 200 million meeting participants, but at least it’s on the same order of magnitude. On Alphabet’s Q1 2020 earnings call yesterday, CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that Google Meet passed 100 million meeting participants last week and is adding “roughly” 3 million new users every day. Google will start to enforce the time limit restriction on September 30. Anyone with a Google Account will be able to start, join, and schedule a Google Meet call for free “starting in early May.” But there are some limitations: Meet video calls can have up to 100 participants and last up to 60 minutes. Google Meet, the video conferencing tool formerly known as Google Hangouts Meet, is arriving for consumers “over the coming weeks.” Until now, Google Meet was only available to business and education users via G Suite.
