How Google Meet came to be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The video conferencing tool introduced to us by Google is referred to as \u201cGoogle Meet”. This application was initially a part of another application named \u201cHangouts\u201d. Hangouts contained both video conferencing tools and chat features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But due to the present scenario and because of the increased demands in video conferencing tools all over the world, Google converted the Hangout app into two different apps. The video conferencing app is \u201cGoogle Meet\u201d and the chatting tool is \u201cGoogle Chat\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Meet is a video conferencing platform that is primarily designed for employees from companies to virtually meet using real-time interaction when they are not in the same area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
