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 RingCentral Video

Mid-to-large businesses that need a complete UCaaS platform with AI-powered conversation intelligence

RingCentral Video is best understood as part of the RingCentral unified communications suite rather than a standalone video tool. RingSense AI adds genuine value with conversation intelligence and sentiment analysis. The lack of a free tier and the higher price make it a harder sell for video-only needs.

Strengths

  • RingSense AI provides conversation intelligence, sentiment analysis, and automated summaries
  • True unified communications — phone, video, messaging, and fax in one platform
  • Excellent HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliance for healthcare and finance
  • Strong API ecosystem for custom integrations and workflow automation

Limitations

  • No free tier — requires paid subscription starting at $20/user/mo
  • Video conferencing is bundled into UCaaS — overkill and overpriced for teams that only need meetings
  • Admin experience is complex — not designed for small teams or quick setup
