What Google Meet's own pages show
Suits
- Organizations that already use Google Workspace
- People who want guests to join from a browser without installing anything
- Short meetings on a free Google Account
- Teams that want Gemini to take meeting notes and write summaries
Limits worth knowing
- No-cost meetings end at 60 minutes unless they are 1:1 or mobile calls.
- Paid Meet features are not sold separately: they come with a Google Workspace plan, or Google One Premium for individuals.
- Business Starter has no recording, noise cancellation or Gemini in Meet, and Business plans stop at 300 users.
- Computers join through the browser; the site lists apps only for phones and tablets, not a desktop app.
