Google Meet
Google Meet is a video-communication service developed by Google. It is one of two apps that constitute the replacement for Google Hangouts, the other being Google Chat. It replaced the consumer-facing Google Duo in late 2022, with the Duo mobile app being renamed Meet and the original Meet app set to be phased out. In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Google announced Meet was to be made available to all users, not just Google Workspace users, as it previously was.
