JioMeet takes on Zoom with these similar features, here's how to download on Android, iOS, and Windows

A day before the Jio-Intel Capital deal took place, the company made its JioMeet video conferencing app available for all across all major platforms in India. The app can be downloaded and used on Android, iOS, Mac and Windows systems. But before we tell you how to get started, here are a few key features that makes JioMeet a worthy rival to Zoom, another popular video conferencing app. 

JioMeet takes on Zoom with same features

That's right. What made Zoom popular was its ability to support up to 100 users at a time on a single video call, something many rivals are still working on. However, JioMeet has the same ability and is the second app to have this after Zoom. 

In addition to this you get this support for free without paying anything, which again, is similar to what Zoom offers to its users. And like Zoom, JioMeet also supports 1:1 calling without any time limit.

What's more is that JioMeet lets you schedule a meeting and share the code with participants, similar to what Zoom offers.

The final key feature shared between both are ‘waiting rooms’. This feature adds an extra layer of security during calls, letting the host add only those members who are required in that particular meeting.
