Making Your Decision

When to Choose Google Meet

Google Workspace organizations and teams that prioritize simplicity and browser-based meetings

Google Meet delivers the cleanest, most frictionless meeting experience. Gemini AI integration is genuinely useful for note-taking and summaries, and the browser-based approach means zero installation headaches. It lacks some power features, but for Google Workspace users, it's the natural choice.

Strengths

  • Gemini AI integration with "Take notes for me" feature and automatic meeting summaries
  • Seamless Google Workspace integration — Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Gmail
  • No download needed — fully browser-based with excellent mobile apps
  • Adaptive audio reduces echo when multiple laptops are in the same room

Limitations

  • Fewer advanced features than Zoom or Teams — no built-in whiteboard in meetings
  • AI features require Workspace Business Standard or higher plans
  • Limited breakout room controls compared to Zoom

When to Choose Livestorm

Marketing and sales teams that need professional webinar hosting with built-in registration, analytics, and engagement tools

Livestorm is a webinar-first platform that does one thing very well: professional virtual events with registration, engagement tracking, and on-demand replays. It's not designed to compete with Zoom or Teams for daily meetings. If you run webinars regularly, it's excellent. For general meetings, look elsewhere.

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for webinars and virtual events with registration pages, landing pages, and email workflows
  • AI-powered summaries and engagement analytics for every session
  • Browser-based — no downloads needed for hosts or attendees
  • Up to 3,000 attendees on paid plans, with on-demand replay built in

Limitations

  • Expensive at $79/mo — primarily a webinar tool, not a daily meeting platform
  • Free tier is extremely limited: 10 attendees, 20-minute sessions
  • Overkill for standard internal team meetings
