With people opting to work remotely instead of going to office during the Coronavirus pandemic, there is a significant shift in the way meetings are conducted. Instead of booking meeting rooms, people are now sending invites for Google Meet and hold meetings and conferences virtually via digital means. As a result, more and more people have been downloading group video calling applications to meet their work requirements. This has led to more than 50 million downloads of Google Meet from Google Play Store across the world, according to a report by AppBrain. It is to note that in the beginning of March this year, the application was downloaded by 5 million users which has now grown 10 times.
Another report by Android Police had revealed that Google Meet had 10 million downloads towards the end of March. As of May 17, the number of downloads increased significantly. This is contrary to the early attention which was received by Microsoft Teams and Zoom in the very beginning. Since Google made the application easily accessible for people, a spike has been witnessed.
