In December 2021 this objective had been dropped, but Duo continued to be available and updated. In August 2020, it was reported that Google was planning to eventually merge Google Duo with the business-oriented Google Meet. Google suspended its usual 60-minute limit for unpaid accounts. In November 2022, Hangouts was officially converted and no longer available.
Additionally, features such as the chatbox were changed to overlay the video feeds, rather than resizing the latter to fit. The number of video feeds allowed at one time was also reduced to 8 (while up to 4 feeds can be shown in the "tiles" layout), prioritizing those attendees who most recently used their microphone. While Google Meet introduced the above features to upgrade the original Hangouts application, some standard Hangouts features were deprecated, including viewing attendees and chat simultaneously. It was available through applications for desktop, Android, and iOS. The service was unveiled as a video conferencing app for up to 30 participants, described as an enterprise-friendly version of Hangouts. History Logo of Google Meet used from March 2017 to October 2023Īfter being invite-only and quietly releasing an iOS app in February 2017, Google formally launched Meet in March 2017. The use of Meet grew by a factor of 30 between January and April 2020, with 100 million users a day accessing Meet, compared to 200 million daily users for Zoom as of the last week of April 2020. 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, in which it previously was. 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. It is one of two apps that constitute the replacement for Google Hangouts, the other being Google Chat. Google Meet (formerly known as Hangouts Meet) is a video communication service developed by Google.
