In addition to a solid, familiar video meeting interface, they also offer individual and group chats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The free video meeting and chat software comes with every Gmail address, along with access to Google Drive\u2019s powerful file sharing and collaboration tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Fun fact:\u00a0 RingCentral Glip <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/features\/ringcentral-for-google\/overview.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">integrates seamlessly with Gmail and Drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so you can supercharge your collaboration for free.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.ringcentral.com\/free-apps-for-your-small-business-in-2021-webinar-registration.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46136 size-full\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Free-apps-webinar-CTA.png\" alt=\"Free apps webinar CTA\" width=\"695\" height=\"247\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The drawbacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you can have over 100 people in a text chat on Hangouts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-many-people-can-be-in-a-google-hangout#:~:text=Up%20to%20150%20people%20can,bottom%20of%20the%20Hangout%20screen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video conferencing tops out at 25 participants<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And while your whole team might be set up on Gmail, what about external guests, like stakeholders and clients? They\u2019ll need to have a Gmail account set up to access video conferencing or receive permission ahead of time from the meeting initiator. This could be a little cumbersome for external guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers have complained about the quality of video and screen sharing features, which could reduce your business\u2019s professional look and feel on important calls. There were also concerns about the level of technical support offered (spoiler alert: <a href=\"https:\/\/capterra.com\/p\/176572\/Google-Hangouts\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it\u2019s hard to get hold of someone<\/a>).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You also can\u2019t record video conferencing as part of the free plan, though it is available at the Enterprise level of Google Workspace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Microsoft Teams: Good for task tracking\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43445\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Microsoft-Teams-teleconferencing-solution.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Teams teleconferencing solution\" width=\"934\" height=\"525\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>The upsides<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Teams is another free option that has a good amount of bells and whistles on par with Glip Pro. In addition to their video conferencing tool, Teams (like Glip Pro) boasts a lot of third-party integrations, especially in the realm of project management. These tools allow project teams to collaborate on documents and check off tasks toward their goals, so everyone is on the same page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The drawbacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people might find a few of the Teams features less than ideal from a business perspective, though. For instance, the interface can be clunky for users and guests. TechRadar said the file collaboration portal, OneDrive, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/reviews\/microsoft-onedrive-for-office-365\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lacks the polish<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of other similar services and doesn\u2019t always feel intuitive or easy to navigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for working with external clients and stakeholders on video conferencing, there is a browser-based option, but <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/office\/join-a-meeting-without-a-teams-account-c6efc38f-4e03-4e79-b28f-e65a4c039508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">only on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Requiring your guests to download a new browser or the Windows app before a meeting can create snags in the seamlessness of your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. FreeConferenceCall: Good for high-capacity video conferencing<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43379\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/freeconferencecall.com-conference-app.png\" alt=\"freeconferencecall.com conference app\" width=\"366\" height=\"370\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>The upsides<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FreeConferenceCall is a go-to for a lot of businesses, so chances are your team members and external stakeholders are familiar with the interface (even if just for phone calls). Their biggest benefit will come in handy if you need to run really big meetings; video conferencing capacity tops out at 1,000 participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The downsides<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This online meeting app is what we\u2019d call utilitarian: it gets the job done, but the look and feel might leave something to be desired. For example, if you choose to access a video meeting via web browser, it better be Firefox or Chrome. Folks using Safari and Explorer will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeconferencecall.com\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">only see shared screens<\/a>, not other participants\u2019 video feeds.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can see how that might put a damper on eye contact with important guests.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer complaints seem to line up with the \u201cget what you pay for\u201d vibe of this no-frills app. The<a href=\"https:\/\/capterra.com\/p\/130969\/FreeConferenceCall-com\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> spotty video and voice quality<\/a> are both mentioned frequently. Also, people have experienced issues getting into meetings, both large and small, or being booted from meetings and not being able to re-enter.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are the kinds of headaches that could frustrate both your team members and clients, so it might be best to try one of the more polished solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. LoopUp &amp; Lifesize: Good for smaller teams\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45763\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image4-4-1024x576.png\" alt=\"lifesize video conferencing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two programs come in tied for fifth place, since a lot of their pros and cons are pretty similar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The similarities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either LoopUp or Lifesize could be the right free online meeting app for your business if you have a super-small team. They both allow up to 10 participants with their free tier, which might be more than enough if you\u2019re just starting out or if you\u2019re a one-person show and have smaller video chats with customers. Both services make it easy to schedule future meetings with common email and calendar integrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both LoopUp and Lifesize also offer unlimited meeting times, unlike some popular free video apps that we haven\u2019t listed here. It\u2019s okay for a chat with your family to cut off at 40 minutes; you might even consider that a plus. However, the same can\u2019t be said for a video conference with an important client.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their drawbacks are similar, too. Customers have complained about both apps\u2019 level of <a href=\"https:\/\/capterra.com\/p\/168543\/LoopUp\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video quality<\/a>, especially regarding screen share, and each app has had its own <a href=\"https:\/\/capterra.com\/p\/157026\/Lifesize\/reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issues<\/a> with clunky integrations.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Neither seem to offer any kind of team chat outside of the video conference rooms, either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45762\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image2-4.png\" alt=\"LoopUp video conferencing\" width=\"800\" height=\"537\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The differences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifesize takes the lead by a nose with a few small differences. For one, you can join meetings via your mobile or desktop device. Over on LoopUp, you can only join a call via your phone number. We also enjoy the look and feel of the Lifesize interface more than LoopUp; it\u2019s more sleek and professional, with more of an easy-to-use appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One area where LoopUp wins: technical support.
