New York (CNN) Free-to-use Zoom and Skype are getting some competition: Meet, which is Google's premium video conferencing tool, is now free for everyone. Meet was previously only available to users of its G Suite productivity tools, commonly used by larger companies and schools. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in its earnings call Tuesday that Meet recently "surpassed a significant milestone" and is adding 3 million new users every day. Usage has increased 30-fold since January and Meet now has more than 100 million daily meeting participants, according to Pichai. Google emphasized Meet's security features, writing in a blog post that it's "designed, built and operated to be secure at scale."
