Reliance Jio launches video conferencing app Jio Meet to take on Zoom
By MYBRANDBOOK
Due to pandemic, and WFH, Zoom app has recently become the most popular video conference service in India. Indian telecom company, Reliance Jio has announced to unveil JioMeet, a free video conferencing app that will take on the likes of Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.
The video conferencing app has been made available for beta users for over a month now and has finally been launched for Android iOS users. It is also accessible on computers through Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Some features of JioMeet
The JioMeet app allows users to set up a one on one call or a conference call with up to 100 participants with enterprise-grade host controls.
The JioMeet app offers similar features such as Zoom, including the ability for users to join a meeting without having to sign in. Users can simply use a ‘Meeting ID’ or a ‘Personal link name’ to join a meeting.
JioMeet allows users to host or join an unlimited number of calls. Additionally, unlike Zoom that limits the duration of calls with three or more users to 40 minutes, JioMeet has said that its calls can last even for up to 24 hours
Jio Platforms, which began beta testing JioMeet in May this year, said the video conferencing service offers “enterprise-grade” host controls. These include: password protection on each call, multi-device login support (up to five devices), and ability to share screen and collaborate.
Other features include the ability to switch “seemingly” from one device to another, and a ‘Safe Driving Mode’ for when a participant is in commute. Hosts can also enable a ‘waiting room’ to ensure participants have to ask for permission to enter a call.
The launch of JioMeet today comes as tens of millions of people in India are working from home and using video conferencing services for work and to stay in touch with friends.
