Top Android Video Conferencing Apps in 2018

This article is going to highlight the best video conferencing apps that are currently trending in the market. This article is going to discuss mostly Android apps.

 

The distance is no more a barrier in holding various business meetings and conferences! Long gone are those days when you had to postpone a business meeting or a conference if any employee, who is responsible for a particular task was absent from the office premises.

 

Today, most of the people own a smartphone that can be loaded with plenty of useful Android mobile apps. According to a report made by conducting a market survey by Statista, the total number of smartphone users is about to grow around 2.5 billion in the year 2019. Hence, worldwide, the mobile app developers and the app development firms are concentrating more on building such mobile apps that can successfully serve various demands of the audience.

 

Previously, there weren’t a handful of options to conduct a business meeting or a conference through mobile apps. The options that were available were not only very expensive but the video quality was very trashy as well.

 

However, now the scenario has changed! The market is full of a wide range of video calling apps. Well, to hold a meeting through apps, some extra features are needed as the app has to support multiple people on the video call at the same time. Also, some other tools are needed as well. Here is a list of the best Android video conferencing apps that are currently trending in the market.

 

GoToMeeting

If you go for the lowest subscription tier, this app will support total 15 participants at a time. For the higher tiers, the total number of participants can be increased to 25 to 125. Both Audio and video calls are supported by it. Other than just video calling, the features of GoToMeeting include

• Chatting through texts in every meeting
• Calendar syncing
• Material Design UI
• Presentation features and a lot more.

The quality of the video calls is more than average in it. This app would be a good choice for SMEs.

Cisco Webex Meetings

This is another great video conferencing app to hold a business meeting. Just with a single tap, one can join the meeting. Other interesting features offered by this mobile app are

• Customisable video layouts
• Stable and decent quality video
• Facility of meeting scheduling directly from the app etc.

However, the UI of this app is a bit clunky! For the most accurate pricing, you might have to contact Cisco.

Zoom Cloud Meetings

In a meeting, up to 100 concurrent participants can take part. This powerful Android app comes with both video and audio-only calling options along with text chatting. The free version of it is available but offers limited functionalities. Depending on the number of concurrent participants, the pricing may vary. Other facilities like presentation features, webinar etc. are supported by it. This Zoom Cloud meetings app is quite popular for its stability and quality of the video.

Other than these aforementioned three Android mobile apps, other two popular video conferencing apps are

• Skype and
• Hangouts Meet.
