Meetings are much easier than they used to be. There weren’t many options, most were expensive, and the video quality was always very poor. But video calls these days are as easy as pressing a button. There are many video calling apps. However, video conferencing requires a little more than consumer-level video chats. You need apps that support a lot of people with some other tools as well. It needs to be stable and reliable for business meetings. There are some really good options in this space. Here are the best video conferencing apps for Android. For now, Zoom seems to be the front-runner and many schools, businesses and other organizations started using it when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.

Feature	Description
High-quality video conferencing	Delivers clear and crisp video quality for virtual meetings.
Screen sharing	Share your screen with participants for effective collaboration.
Recording	Record meetings for future reference or sharing with others.
Chat	Instant messaging during meetings for quick communication.
Integration with productivity tools	Seamlessly integrates with other applications like Microsoft Office.

Cisco Webex Meetings is among the larger options for video conferencing apps. It is quite popular with business users, and the app has some decent features. That includes joining a meeting with a single tap, customizable video layouts, and you can schedule meetings directly from the app.

Video quality was decent and stable during our testing. The app itself is a bit clunky. Most complaints are the occasional login problem, minor audio issues and the app’s clunky UI. However, it should work fine for most applications. Pricing varies. You may need to contact Cisco for more accurate pricing.

GoToMeeting

Feature	Description
HD video conferencing	Crystal clear video quality for immersive meetings.
Meeting recording	Capture meetings to review or share with absent participants.
Screen sharing	Share your screen to present documents or demonstrations.
Mobile apps	Access meetings on the go with the GoToMeeting mobile app.
Annotation and whiteboarding	Collaborate and illustrate ideas with virtual whiteboards.

GoToMeeting is another popular and newer option for videoconferencing. It supports 15 participants in the lowest subscription class and 25-125 in the higher classes. The app supports both audio and video calls. Some of the other features include a Material Design UI, calendar synchronization, text chat in each meeting, presentation features and more.

Video and audio quality are above average with this one. However, its maximum of 25 participants is a bit on the low side. This is great for small businesses or small teams within a larger company. There are other options with a higher maximum.

Zoom

Feature	Description
Video and audio conferencing	High-quality video and audio for seamless communication.
Virtual backgrounds	Customize your background during video calls.
Breakout rooms	Split meetings into smaller groups for focused discussions.
Webinar capabilities	Host large-scale webinars and engage with attendees.
Cloud recording and storage	Record meetings and save them securely in the cloud.

You already know Zoom. People who literally live under bricks know Zoom. It’s the most popular app for video meetings, and there’s a good reason for that: it just works. You can share a link to a Zoom meeting and trust that everyone can participate.

There are apps for every major platform, and right now you can assume that everyone already has the software installed and configured to work. Joining a meeting is as simple as clicking on the link. It’s hard to overstate how valuable that is: nothing ruins a meeting like someone who can’t participate.

Live captioning	Real-time captions for improved accessibility.
Screen sharing	Share your screen with participants for collaboration.

Perhaps the best feature of Google Meet is its deep integration with Google’s other apps. When you create a meeting in Google Calendar, you get a Meet link that you and your meeting partners can click on to join a conversation immediately. And if you’re in the middle of a conversation, you can search for files in Google Drive and share them in chat without leaving the conversation.

You can even start a conversation directly from your Gmail inbox. And then there’s integration with Chrome, including a tab-sharing feature that’s great for sharing media, with very little lag when you stream a short video as a group (it doesn’t work in other browsers, though).

Viber is an all-in-one social app that lets you text and video call your contacts, use end-to-end encryption for messages and video audio calls, and make cheap calls to landlines and mobile numbers via VoIP.

You can select any of your contacts for video calls or start a group video call with 39 other participants, which is more than most. Viber is a great alternative to Telegram and Whatsapp and provides total accessibility and privacy in every call you make.

Telegram

Secure messaging	End-to-end encryption for secure and private conversations.
Group chats	Create groups with up to 200,000 members for large-scale communication.

Bots and automation	Interact with bots and automate tasks for increased productivity.

If you value privacy and speed for all your activities, including file sharing and social messaging, Telegram is one of the best social apps you can get your hands on. Telegram syncs across all devices, so you can seamlessly transfer your social activities from one device to another.

You don’t have to deal with file limits, and you can store your entire chat history freely without taking up space on your device (it all goes to Telegram’s cloud storage). But the highlight of Telegram is how everything is encrypted, including video chats. For video chatting, you can set portrait and landscape, start group conversations and set an overlay while browsing other apps on your phone.
