Google's teleconferencing tool, called Google Meet, has seen a surge in usage fueled by lockdowns due to the coronavirus. Earlier this week, the company said Google Meet is adding more than 2 million new users a day worldwide as people look for ways to keep in touch with family, friends and colleagues while staying at home.

We're now supporting 2M+ new users on Google Meet each day, and 100M students+educators on Google Classroom. To help businesses & schools stay connected, we've extended free access to advanced features of Meet to all @GSuite customers through Sep 30, 2020. https://t. co/RLveeT1D4z

Google on Thursday also noted that it's officially dropping "Hangouts" from the Google Meet name, helping separate the enterprise product from its consumer services.
