In what comes as a major good news for working professionals, Google has made its video conferencing app free for all users. Google Meet can now be used by anyone completely free and anyone with an email address can sign up and get started at meet.google.com. People would soon see Meet directly in their Gmail account, according to Javier Soltero Vice President & GM, G Suite.

Since making Meet's advanced features free for all G Suite and G Suite for Education users in March, the tech giant has seen daily usage grow by 30 times, with Meet hosting 3 billion minutes of video meetings daily.

"Last month, we were adding roughly 3 million new users every day. That's why we're expanding the offering to more people around the world," said Soltero.
