As a teacher experienced in both these platforms I would like to share my insights on this comparison.
1. Extensions - Most features are not built into the application and have to be installed as a browser extension to chrome.
2. Breakout Rooms - Supervising the participants in zoom breakout rooms is a complicated and tedious process. Besides needing many screens and workarounds, it also requires to have high-speed connectivity which may be an issue if you have five users online at a given time and place.
3. While zoom is about as easy to use as gmeet it is not browser-based and therefore a hassle sometimes.
4. Gmeet so far has not come up with a mute all button and muting 100 participants is a big deal.
5. The free version of gmeet will not let you record a meeting, whereas zoom gives the recording capabilities.
6. Meeting durations - The free version of zoom has a limit of 45 minutes after which your call will end. Gmeet has unlimited duration.
