This is great, did they list the financial commitments they made to keeping this product running for a minimum of 10 years? Because I don't see why anyone would migrate to a Google product. If you start using Zoom today, you've got a fair expectation that it will be around for a while. If you start using Microsoft Teams you can be extremely confident it'll be around for heat death of the universe. If you start using Google Meet today, I'd advise you to have a backup plan.
- benhurmarcel 7y agoMeet isn't a type of product that takes effort to migrate from. It's per meeting. Also, it's part of G Suite that they sell to companies, so it shouldn't be discontinued anytime soon. For free for consumer however, nothing guaranteed.
- ProZsolt 7y agoYou are right if you only consider individual users on their laptops, but companies also have to set up conference rooms with compatible equipment.
- Traster 7y agoWhen I've got a calendar full of meetings and they all have meeting links in them then yes, migrating away is going to be a pain- and that's assuming that they just EOL the product, and don't do what they've traditionally done which is to try and force you into one of their other crappy products. I still remember when every youtuber got forced into Google+. Youtube is per video! How bad could it be! Turns out, pretty bad.

- RandomBacon 7y agoIt's not free to write documentation and getting people used to it though.
