With people working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one service that has seen a surge in demand is video conferencing. From daily office meetings to client meetings, sharing presentations and more are being done by people sitting at home and using apps like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Hangout and more. It looks like Airtel also wants to get in on the video conferencing market. According to the Economic Times, “Airtel is close to launching several enterprise-grade products including a unified videoconferencing tool very shortly.” There is no official word from the service from Airtel.
Unified video conferencing will not only include bandwidth but also the infrastructure for videoconferencing. Recently, Reliance also launched its own videoconferencing app called JioMeet to take on the likes of Zoom, Google hangout and more. JioMeet supports direct video calls and can also be used to host meetings with up to 100 participants across multiple platforms like Android, Windows and even works on a browser such as Google Chrome. Let’s take a look at the features of the JioMeet video calling service and how to download and use it. The features of the app are quite similar to those found on Zoom.
