Use when

You need reliable video calls for investor meetings, client demos, or remote team sessions - especially when meeting people outside your organisation.

Skip when

All your meetings are internal and your team already uses Google Workspace - Google Meet is free and integrated.

Zoom performs better than Google Meet on lower bandwidth connections - relevant for teams across Africa. The free tier 40-minute limit is the main constraint for longer calls.
