JioMeet takes on Zoom, can support up to 100 participants

New Delhi, Jul 4 () After raising billions of dollars from the likes of Facebook and Intel for its digital business, billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries has launched JioMeet video conferencing app with unlimited free calling that is being seen as rate war on rival Zoom. The JioMeet video conferencing app is available across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and web since Thursday evening after beta testing. According to the company website, JioMeet supports HD audio and video call quality with up to 100 participants and offers features like screen sharing, meeting schedule feature and more. But unlike Zoom, it does not impose a 40-minute time limit. Calls can go on as long as 24 hours, and all meetings are encrypted and password-protected, the company said. Based on USD 15 per month charge for meetings of more than 40 minutes on Zoom (USD 180 on annual basis), JioMeet is providing the same functionality and more free of cost, translating into Rs 13,500 savings for a host per year, company sources said. According to app features listed on Google Play Store, JioMeet offers easy sign up with either mobile number or e-mail ID and allows creation of instant meeting. The meeting in HD audio and video quality can be scheduled in advance and details shared with invitees, it said, adding JioMeet allows unlimited meetings per day with each meeting going uninterrupted for up to 24 hours. Each meeting is password protected and the host can enable 'Waiting Room' to ensure no participant joins without permission. It also allows creation of groups and starting calling/chatting on a single click. Other features include 'Safe Driving Mode' while driving, multi-device login support for up to five devices and seamless switching from one device to other while on call. The app, which has already seen more than 5 lakh downloads on the Google Play Store and iOS, comes amid the government imposing a ban on 59 popular Chinese apps including TikTok on grounds that they threatened national security and data privacy. The app was launched a day before Reliance announced fund raising from stake sale in Jio Platforms which has now totalled Rs 1.17 lakh crore from 11 investors, ranging from Facebook to Intel Capital. Company sources said no restriction on time limit on JioMeet means teachers will not be required to cut short their classes as they are forced to do on Zoom. Also, the app allows national and international seminars as well as hosting of cultural and social events. Unlike Zoom where users cannot expand a participant's video, JioMeet meetings users can expand any participant's video or shared screen's video by a double tap. Also, JioMeet has two advanced meeting settings over and above Zoom options. First, it allows participants only from the host's organisation. If enabled, only users from the host's organsation can join that meeting, eliminating potential snoops from other IDs. Secondly, it does not allow guest users -- if enabled, every user will be required to sign up before joining the meeting hence restricting anonymous users from joining the call. Unlike Zoom, JioMeet users can switch from one device to another without dropping out of the call. Zoom allows sign up only with e-mail ID while JioMeet allows sign up with e-mail and mobile number. Inside the call, Zoom shows four participants at a time on a single mobile screen (for others, users need to scroll through multiple pages). JioMeet allows nine active participants on a single mobile screen. ANZ ABM ABM

JioMeet offers enterprise-grade host control and security that and can be used for 1:1 video calls and hosting meetings with up to 100 participants. The application has already been downloaded more than 1,00,000 times on Google Play Store within no time. "Zoom has experienced intense competition since it was established in 2011, and yet we have become the platform of choice for millions of participants around the world," the company said in a statement. "We know what it takes to become the unified communications platform we are today, including the immense amount of work and focus required to create our frictionless user experience, sophisticated security, and scalable architecture," Zoom added. JioMeet has created a solid buzz in India. Other highlights in the desi video meet app include easy sign up with either mobile number or email ID, meeting in HD audio and video quality. It offers support where the users can click on a JioMeet invite link and join from his or her browser without downloading the application. Back-end technology optimises experience with HD video quality even at lower bandwidths and intuitive and user-friendly interface enhances overall conferencing experience. "All your meetings are encrypted and password protected, ensuring complete privacy and data protection," said the JioMeet team. In a statement this week, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan announced to double down on the efforts to bring meaningful change to its video meet app after the 90-day pledge ended, saying the company would put mechanisms in place to make sure that security and privacy remain a priority in each phase of its product and feature development. Bogged down by numerous privacy and security issues in March, Zoom took a 90-day pledge on April 1 to make a number of enhancements to address security and privacy. "We cannot and will not stop here. Privacy and security are ongoing priorities for Zoom, and this 90-day period  while fruitful  was just a first step," said Yuan. Industry experts have hailed the arrival of JioMeet, at a time when onus is on the Indian corporate and enterprise world to create world-class apps that can reach global heights. "The current market dynamics will potentially provide enough tailwinds to JioMeet to gain currency, on the back of its features, such as no limits on call durations, and seamless switching between devices," Prabhu Ram, Head-Industry Intelligence Group, <keyword id="611566" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="CyberMedia-Research">CyberMedia Research</keyword> (CMR), told IANS. JioMeet can be used for creating instant meetings to chat with friends and also to schedule a meeting in advance and share meeting details with invitees.

Google video conferencing app Meet has begun receiving <keyword id="9376865" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ai-noise-cancellation">AI noise cancellation</keyword> feature update to help attendees reduce the background noise significantly. The feature was originally announced in April with a couple of other features but it is only starting to roll. Google has been working on the feature for around a year and a half, using thousands of its own meetings to train its AI model, reports VentureBeat. Serge Lachapelle, G Suite's director of product management, revealed that the noise-cancelling feature can also filter out other background distractions such as dogs barking, kids crying, and applause. The noise cancellation feature uses a machine learning model that is capable of understanding the difference between noise and speech. To filter out background noise, users voice is sent from the device to a Google data centre, which is where it goes through the machine learning model. Once the processing is completed, it gets re-encrypted and sent back to the <keyword id="4237083" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="google-meet">Google Meet</keyword> call. The feature is expected to become widely available for G Suite enterprise customers by the end of this month.

Steps for video meeting from Google Meet on phone or laptop

<ul><li>Zoom announced that it will be opening up a new technology centre in Bengaluru to expand its footprint in India.</li><li>Zoom also plans to begin recruitment for Bengaluru operations</li><li>As a part of its expansion strategy, Zoom plans to integrate new value-added services to its video conferencing app.</li><li>While the new data centre will be in India to focus on India specifics and features, any app developments will still be considered global.</li></ul>The video-conferencing app, Zoom, that has gained popularity in the recent lockdown, has solidified its India plans. Zoom just unveiled its plan to set up a new technology centre in India’s Silicon Valley, Bengaluru and is looking to hire talent over the next few years. The company’s COO Aparna Bawa also disclosed that the company has plans to add value-added services onto the platform after the flurry of new use-cases since December. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76988430" title="Zoom wants you to buy a $600 second screen to use exclusively for videoconferencing" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> In the first four months of 2020, Zoom saw its daily participants grow from 10 million to 300 million. Bawa pointed out that the majority of the use cases for the video conferencing platform in that time were new; with the number of free user sign-ups witnessing a whopping 6700% growth between January and April. “It’s up to us to answer the call and provide some longevity, value and value-added services to support those use cases,” said Bawa, highlighting that events like yoga classes, wedding, funerals or even a merger have led to the rise in usage. Zoom’s new technology centre in Bengaluru will be set up to help with just that with everything from R&amp;D, DevOps. Business operations to IT engineering. “As you look at a headquarters, it will have representation for all segments,” said Zoom’s new president of engineering and product, Velchamy Sankarlingam, who was appointed in May earlier this year. Technology center in India, roots still global Sankarlingam highlighted that while Zoom’s business headquarters will be working closely with Indian firms to launch specifics and features for India, it will still be looked at as an extension of the global organisation. Which is why standalone revenues from India are unlikely to be shown anywhere in the near future. “We don’t call out revenues except for the US and then the international market,” said Bawa. Rising concern over security Zoom says that it’s in conversation with the Indian government over security concerns and data sharing with China. India’s cyber authority CERT-In had initially released an advisory on the security loopholes in Zoom and asked users to update their software. The Home Ministry followed that up by a ban on using Zoom by government employees. “The Chinese data centre is ring-fenced. Any data that’s on Zoom’s servers goes around China,” explained Sankarligam. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76636946" title="INTERVIEW: Zoom's India head believes he will able to convince the Home Ministry that the app is safe" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Competition heating up Even though Zoom could not cite India-specific numbers in terms of growth during the lockdown, <keyword id="9123500" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="zoom-india">Zoom India</keyword> Head Sameer Raje highlights that business has grown exponentially in smaller businesses (SMEs) that have overcome the initial hesitancy to go digital. It faces competition from Jio who holds the largest market share and has launched its own video conference apps called Jio Meets. Many have pointed out the similarity between the user interface. “Beyond the UI there are so many things that have an advantage for Zoom like the back-end architecture and reserve engineering capacity when we talk to customers,” said Bawa. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76762100" title="Reliance Jio launches JioMeet app to take on Zoom" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> India holds importance for Zoom as one of the biggest telecom markets in the world with a user base of more than 115.2 crore subscribers according to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) latest figures. The video-conferencing giant already has an office in Mumbai along with two data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The new set-up in Bengaluru is a reflection of Zoom’s expansion plans in India and its aspirations for growth in one of the largest markets in the world.
