Google Meet is the obvious choice if your whole team lives inside Google Workspace. It is integrated into Calendar, Gmail, and Drive, and it scales to 100 participants on the free plan. The catch is that every participant essentially needs a Google login and each free meeting cuts off at 60 minutes. Go4Meet trades the giant participant cap for a faster, account-free join experience, 40 free minutes of meetings per day, and cloud recording included on every paid plan (14 days on Pro, 30 on Business).
