Of these video conferencing apps, you may have heard of the Zoom and Google Meet apps, which have become very popular in the last few years since the Corona infection spread around the world.

As you all know, corona virus has been around ever since. People around the world have been under house arrest since the lockdown began. The government has urged the people to work from home and stay at home till the situation improves. The government has been urging the people not to leave their homes unnecessarily. Seeing all this, people decided to work from home. This was considered important in time.

You have to work from home and talk to more than one person / employee. These video conferencing apps have done just that.
