Zoom is the default video meeting app for a reason: it scales to hundreds of participants and ships features that enterprise IT can audit. But for everyday meetings — stand-ups, client calls, tutoring, interviews — the install loop and the 40-minute free limit are real friction. Go4Meet is built for those everyday meetings. It runs entirely in the browser, with 40 minutes of meetings per day on the free plan and unlimited duration on paid plans — which also include cloud recording (14 days on Pro, 30 on Business).

The honest verdict
