How to use Google Meet – Google just opened up its Google Meet video conferencing service to everyone who wants to use it, instead of just offering it to enterprise and education customers through G Suite. Google says that anybody with a Google account will be able to create free meetings capable of holding 100 participants that can last any amount of time — although after 30th of September, 2020, it may restrict meeting length to 60 minutes.
The requirement for a Google account is a hard one. Just that no one will be able to just click a link and join a meeting — they will need to login. This is so that meetings can be easily controlled by their hosts, thereby taking out the possibility of an uninvited participant from participating.
