Google Meet
<< Collaboration, Cybersecurity & Technology
'Google Meet' is the business-oriented version of Google's Hangout platform and enables you to make video calls with over 100 participants. It is included with G Suite and G Suite for Education. There's a mobile app and also an Add-in for using in MS Outlook email.
Security Note: Google Meet video meetings are encrypted in transit. Users can join securely even when they're off site. If you join a video meeting by phone, the audio follows the telephone carriers' network and might not be encrypted.
