Business of Tech | Zoom and Meet interoperability

Here’s an interoperability story I didn’t predict.  Quoting ZDNet:

Google has announced new two-way interoperability between Zoom and Meet for conference rooms, along with the first Meet-certified Android conference appliances, which expand Google’s Meet-certified hardware beyond ChromeOS.

When interoperability arrives later this year, users of the companies’ respective conference solutions — Zoom Rooms and Google Meet devices — will be able to communicate seamlessly: Zoom Rooms can join Google Meet meetings, and Google Meet devices can join Zoom Meetings. This can be done from a Zoom Room or a Google Meet device calendar, at the touch of a button. 

Why do we care?

The reality of business is heterogeneous, so it’s encouraging to see these two make their devices work together.   Great news for providers.      Want to leverage the value of the work layer?  Here’s one more way.
