First it was Hangouts, Duo, and Chat, and now Google has released Google Meet. So, how exactly does this new video-conferencing service work, and how does it compare to something like Zoom?
首先是环聊，二重奏和聊天，现在Google发布了Google Meet。 那么，这种新的视频会议服务到底是如何工作的，又与Zoom之类的东西相比又如何呢？
Google Meet适用于大型或小型视频通话 (Google Meet Is for Video Calls Big or Small)
Until April 2020, to use Google Meet, you had to buy a G Suite plan. Now, though, Google has released a free version, and it’s available to anyone with a Google or Gmail account.
在2020年4月之前，您必须购买G Suite计划才能使用Google Meet。 不过，现在Google已发布了免费版本，拥有Google或Gmail帐户的任何人都可以使用。
You can create or join a Google Meet, and add up to 100 participants on a video call. At this writing, there isn’t a time limit on calls, but starting September 30, calls will be limited to 60 minutes. This is in stark contrast to Zoom, though, which limits free video conferences to only 40 minutes.
您可以创建或加入Google Meet，并在视频通话中最多添加100位参与者。 在撰写本文时，通话没有时间限制，但是从9月30日开始，通话将被限制为60分钟。 不过，这与Zoom形成了鲜明的对比，后者将免费视频会议限制在40分钟以内。
Google Hangouts still exists, and you can use it to chat or conduct video calls with up to 25 participants. Google Duo is the company’s mobile-focused video-chat app. It’s also still alive and thriving, and you can now add up to 12 participants.
Google环聊仍然存在，您可以使用它与最多25位参与者聊天或进行视频通话。 Google Duo是该公司针对移动设备的视频聊天应用程序。 它仍然活跃，兴旺，现在您最多可以添加12位参与者。
Google Meet was designed specifically for large-scale video conferences that can be joined with a link or a code. Like Zoom, businesses and organizations are its target demographic.
Google Meet专为大型视频会议而设计，可以通过链接或代码加入。 像Zoom一样，企业和组织是其目标受众。
You can start a video call, and then share the link or code or invite people via email. Then, just chat away. You can share your screen, switch to a tiled view, turn on live captions, or send text messages, as well. But that’s pretty much it.
您可以发起视频通话，然后共享链接或代码，或通过电子邮件邀请他人。 然后，聊天。 您也可以共享屏幕，切换到平铺视图，打开实时字幕或发送短信。 但是，仅此而已。
Google Meet works in most browsers, but, as it’s a Google product, it works best in Chrome. Unlike Zoom, there isn’t a desktop app, but there are apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android. The apps offer the same functionality as the website.
Google Meet在大多数浏览器中均可使用，但由于它是Google产品，因此在Chrome中效果最佳。 与Zoom不同，没有桌面应用程序，但是有适用于iPhone，iPad和Android的应用程序。 这些应用程序提供与网站相同的功能。
Google Meet是Barone-Bones Zoom的竞争对手 (Google Meet Is a Bare-Bones Zoom Competitor)
You can think of Google Meet as a bare-bones version of Zoom. Unlike Zoom, though, Google Meet offers end-to-end encryption on all calls.
您可以将Google Meet视为Zoom的基本版本。 不过，与Zoom不同，Google Meet在所有通话中都提供了端到端加密。
With the unlimited free calls feature available until Sept. 30, 2020, Google Meet is a way better deal than Zoom if you don’t need any advanced features.
直到2020年9月30日，无限制的免费通话功能才可用，如果您不需要任何高级功能，Google Meet是比Zoom更好的交易方式。
When it comes to the sheer number of features, however, Google Meet can’t match Zoom. For example, Google Meet’s free plan doesn’t offer recording. You also have to have a Google account to use Google Meet, but Zoom allows anyone with the link to join a video call. That’s a plus for Google Meet when it comes to security, though.
但是，就功能数量而言，Google Meet无法与Zoom匹敌。 例如，Google Meet的免费计划不提供录音。 您还必须拥有一个Google帐户才能使用Google Meet，但是Zoom允许具有链接的任何人加入视频通话。 不过，在安全性方面，这对Google Meet来说是一个优点。
You also won’t find virtual backgrounds, reactions, or advanced participants control features in Google Meet.
您也不会在Google Meet中找到虚拟背景，React或高级参与者控制功能。
The paid version gives you the ability to record meetings. It also increases the participant count to 250 and includes a live-streaming feature for up to 100,000 viewers. However, all of this requires a G Suite subscription, and those start at $6 per month.
付费版本使您能够记录会议。 它还将参与者人数增加到250，并包括可容纳多达100,000位观众的实时流媒体功能。 但是，所有这一切都需要G Suite订阅，而这些起价为每月6美元。
It’s not really a fair comparison as G Suite also gives you access to many enterprise-level Google tools, but compared to Zoom Pro’s $15 per month plan, that’s quite expensive.
这并不是一个真正的公平比较，因为G Suite还可以让您访问许多企业级Google工具，但是与Zoom Pro每月15美元的计划相比，这是相当昂贵的。
But if you’ve been using Zoom Pro for meetings to avoid the 40-minute time limit, you should at least try Google Meet. If all you need is a simple video-conferencing service that works for all your team members, Google Meet’s free plan might be enough for you.
但是，如果您一直在使用Zoom Pro开会以避免40分钟的时间限制，则至少应尝试使用Google Meet。 如果您只需要一个适用于所有团队成员的简单视频会议服务，那么Google Meet的免费计划可能已足够。
