List of virtual meeting platforms

Video conferencing capabilities bring virtual teams together in real-time. From Zoom to the less-known Jitsi Meet, these virtual meeting apps are ready for you and your remote team to try.

1. Zoom

Zoom is a popular video conferencing platform that is infamous for being easy to use. You can invite anyone to a Zoom meeting with a URL, even if your attendees do not have a Zoom account. Once team members click on the URL, they will instantly join a virtual room with the rest of the team. Registered users can host meetings with up to 100 people using the free version of Zoom’s software. Coupled with fun features like breakout rooms, Zoom is ideal for hosting meetings, games, and activities with virtual teams.

Secured by strong encryption, this virtual conference software does not cost anything, requires you to register or limit the number of people you can invite to meetings.

3. Google Meet

Google originally developed Google Meet as a virtual meeting platform for the company’s enterprise customers. However, with Zoom’s surge in popularity, Google decided to offer Meet as a secure alternative. Meet can host gatherings of up to 250 participants, and also offers nifty additions like live captions and anti-abuse features. If data security is a priority for your business, then Meet is right for you, as long as everyone has a Google Account.

4. Skype

Acquired by Microsoft in 2011, Skype was the original household name for video calls. However, due to consumer complaints and the emergence of Zoom Skype is no longer the only or primary option for meetings. Skype is mounting a comeback with video conferencing, making it the perfect time to revisit the familiar software with a cute ringtone. The app now offers meetings for up to 50 participants accessible by a generated link. No registration or download is required.

5. Cisco Webex

Cisco Webex is online meeting software originally intended for businesses. With its intuitive controls and tight security, Webex has long helped businesses stay connected. By signing up for Webex’s free plan, you can host virtual meetings or games with up to 100 people for any duration. This feature contrasts with Zoom, which limits your meeting time to 40 minutes if three or more people are in your meeting. Therefore, by choosing Webex, you won’t have to worry about time limits for your next online meeting.
