Google Meet
Meetings for people already living in Google Workspace.
What it is
Google Meet is video chat tied to Calendar, Gmail, and Workspace. No extra account if you already have Google. Free personal calls exist; Workspace raises duration and participant caps. If the other person is not on Google, Zoom is still the easier link.
