Google this year Google Meet and Zoom’s It is preparing to introduce bidirectional interoperability. So this means that soon Zoom users will be able to join Google Meet meetings and Google Meet devices will be able to join Zoom meetings. For users, this will be as easy to use as clicking a calendar item or adding a meeting code, according to Google. Once launched, administrators will be able to enable this interoperability for their registered devices at no extra cost, while allowing trusted devices to easily join cross-platform calls. Initially, it is stated that Google Meet interoperability will be supported in all Zoom Rooms across all platforms, and Zoom interoperability will only be supported on ChromeOS-based Meet devices (with more supported products being added over time).
Google states that its goal is to improve the meeting experience and flexibility for both remote and onsite attendees, and to make communication between users on different platforms more accessible.
Google Workspace product director Dave Citron made the following comment:
“Hybrid workplace organizations struggle to connect conference rooms to customers, partners, or colleagues in different organizations due to platform interoperability challenges. To help overcome this, we work with our partners to give our clients as much flexibility as possible in connecting with people inside and outside of their networks. Last year, we launched bidirectional interoperability between Cisco Webex devices and Google Meet devices. We’re maintaining Pexip support for Google Meet so users can seamlessly join Meet meetings from a wide variety of third-party video conferencing solutions.”
