JioMeet app available in India: How to download, start or join a meeting

After testing for months Reliance Jio has finally launched JioMeet in the country. The JioMeet app is available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. With JioMeet, Reliance Jio is undoubtedly aiming to take on the likes of other video calling platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Microsoft Teams, among others.

JioMeet can be accessible both from the web and the mobile as well. While the app is readily available in the Play Store and App Store, the web version might take a while to function. As when you go to the website of JioMeet, it says “coming soon”, which is indicative of the fact that the web version will arrive in some time.

The JioMeet video conferencing app can support up to 100 participants in a single call and it is absolutely free of cost. You can sign up using your mobile number or email ID and start a call. The app has some interesting features that could give it an edge over the immensely popular Zoom app. With JioMeet, you can host unlimited meetings in a day, each meeting can go uninterrupted up to 24hrs. For security and privacy reasons, Jio says that all its meetings are password protected. The host has the control to send the uninvited guests to the “Waiting Room” to ensure that nobody gatecrashes the meeting.

The Coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns across the world have led to an increase in the usage of video conferencing apps. Zoom has emerged as one of the most popular platforms and has witnessed a substantial increase in usage.
