Jio Platforms, the holding company of Indian telecom operator Reliance Jio has launched its video-conferencing application that can run across platforms – Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. The application is made in India and can be used both for video calls between two people and for hosting an online meeting of up to 100 participants. Besides, the platform allows one to host up to 24 hours of uninterrupted meeting. For security reasons, the company claims the meetings are encrypted as well as passwords protected.
• Unlimited daily meetings: You can host unlimited meetings with a maximum of 100 participants, including the host, for up to 24 hours at no cost. While this may appear like a great offer, several other platforms offer this feature. Allowing up to 100 participants in a web meeting is kind of standard in the video-conferencing world. So, JioMeet is not really offering anything extra here, except that Zoom, the platform that it has modelled itself, caps such free calls at 40 minutes. Google Meet also limits the duration of the conference to 60 minutes for free users.
• Multi-device login: The new platform offers multidevice login feature with up to five devices and you can seamlessly switch from one device to another device during the call. Again, this is not a special feature offered only by JioMeet. Most other platforms do offer multi-device log in and the ability to switch from one device to another.
