Limitations
Gemini AI transcription and meeting summaries are available on Google Workspace Business Standard and above — free Google Meet users have limited AI feature access.
Google Meet is excellent for team video calls but Zoom's webinar capabilities, breakout room management, and event-scale features are more mature for large-scale virtual events.
Google Meet's AI features integrate most deeply within the Google Workspace ecosystem — organizations on Microsoft 365 find Microsoft Teams more integrated with their primary productivity suite.
