When the coronavirus-led pandemic began in early 2020, Google offered Google Meet, a video calling app specifically for G-Suite at the time, to everyone for free. In addition, Mountain View Giants has announced that it will not impose restrictions on group video calls on Meet, allowing users to make group calls (three or more participants) for up to 24 hours until September 2020. He said he would extend the period and that Meet’s free service would be available until June 2021. Currently, Google doesn’t seem to have any plans to extend the free service any further.
No unlimited group calls on Meet for free users
As a result, Google Meet users who make unlimited group calls using this service will be able to make group calls on Meet for just 60 minutes. Therefore, if users want to enjoy the 24-hour limit for group calls on Meet, they need to do the following: Get the Google Workspace Essentials Plan for $ 8 (~ Rs 600) per month..
For those who don’t know, video calling platforms such as Zoom offer unlimited group calling for a monthly subscription fee. Google Meat also falls into that category, but the platform launched a free group call service last year with the goal of connecting people to each other during the blockade. Following this, Meet gained a significant number of users in 2020.
However, as Google currently mentions on the Google Meet pricing page, Meet users using the platform as a free service now have an hour limit for group calls. Meet’s free unlimited group video calling service ended last month.
Now, it’s worth mentioning that one-on-one video calls on Meet will continue to be offered to users for free. So when you start a one-on-one call with Meet, you can enjoy up to 24 hours of video time. This is the same as the time limit for all Google Meet subscription plans.
So if you want to enjoy unlimited group calls on Google Meet, you can upgrade to the Google Workspace Essentials plan or the Google Workspace Enterprise plan. For more information on subscription packs, please visit Meet’s official pricing page.
