Reliance video-conferencing application JioMeet has recorded over 500K downloads with a 4.5-star rating on the Google Play Store alongside an unreported number of downloads on the App Store on the principal day of its dispatch, despite the fact that the application was scorned via web-based networking media stages for ‘duplicate app’ Zoom.

Be that as it may, past the reverberation chamber that is Twitter, the accomplishment of the application pieces of information us into why JioMeet’s striking likeness to Zoom might not have been a senseless oversight or lethargy. It could in all likelihood be a UI-driven development hack to make the progress simpler for anybody moving from Zoom.

A few clients have asserted that JioMeet’s video and sound quality is generally excellent and there is nothing amiss with the application in essence. There have additionally been a few grievances that the application is devouring a larger number of information and battery than different applications. It must be noticed that we can’t freely confirm these cases made in the application audits.

In light of USD 15 every month charge for gatherings of over 40 minutes on Zoom (USD 180 on yearly premise), JioMeet is giving similar usefulness and all the more at zero cost, converting into Rs 13,500 huge savings for a host for each year.



Given the size and height of Reliance Industries, Jio, and the numerous Reliance computerized adventures, which extends across significant divisions in India from petrochemical to staple goods, many said it was an apathetic exertion by JioMeet. Reliance has denoted its quality in the staple fragment with Reliance Fresh and JioMart, attire and adornments portion with Reliance Trends, web-based business with Reliance Retail, and Ajio, spilling with Jio Cinema, JioTV, and JioSaavn. Reliance likewise has plans to make an imprint in health-tech through Reliance HealthHub and agri-tech investigation with the JioKrishi application.

In the wake of raising billions of dollars from any semblance of Facebook and Intel for its computerized business, extremely rich person Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries has propelled JioMeet video conferencing application with boundless free calling that is being viewed as big tech war on pricing to rival Zoom.

The JioMeet video conferencing application is accessible across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and the web since Thursday evening after beta testing.

As per the organization site, JioMeet bolsters High Definition sound and video call quality with up to 100 members and offers highlights like screen sharing, meeting plan highlight, and then some.

Yet, in contrast to Zoom, it doesn’t force a 40-minute time limit. Calls can go on up to 24 hours, and all gatherings are securely encrypted and safely password-protected.



So it truly makes one marvel why Reliance would invest absolute minimum amounts of energy as far as the UI and interface of JioMeet, its much-anticipated video-conferencing application.

Was it the earnest requirement for the application given India’s dependence on outside video conferencing instruments, which constrained Reliance to take the simple course? Or on the other hand, would it be able to have been tied in with giving the individuals who have gotten ongoing to Zoom an approach to become acclimated to JioMeet? Whatever the explanation is, it has worked out for JioMeet.

When the stage was propelled, it surprised Twitter as a few clients took to scorning the application for the uncanny likeness to Zoom. As we detailed, just the size of the textual style and the shading plan is diverse to Zoom. The utilization of similar descriptors, the situation of the symbols, and the general format are sufficient to trick the undiscerning eye.

As per application highlights recorded on Google Play Store, JioMeet offers simple sign up with either versatile number or email ID and permits making of moment meeting.



The gathering in HD sound and video quality can be planned for advance and subtleties imparted to invitees, it stated, including JioMeet permits boundless gatherings every day with each gathering going continuous for as long as 24 hours.

Other than this, JioMeet didn’t invest a lot of energy into changing the iOS interface of the application and utilized similar symbols for New Meeting, Join, Schedule, and Share Screen as Zoom.

This persuades an organization like Reliance could never chance its notoriety by essentially replicating something. It might just utilize a white-marked adaptation of Zoom, assistance which Zoom offers, as called attention to by engineer Snigdha Sambit Aryakumar on Twitter.

While those reactions of being a Zoom duplicate are substantial till we find out about whether Jio for sure has a white name concurrence with Zoom, let’s be honest, India isn’t generally such a full-grown market, that it would pick an application essentially as a result of the UI. Especially for an application in the video conferencing space, it’s not so much about the UI however about the general understanding. Indeed, even Google Meet needed to acquire highlights from Zoom, for example, the tiled perspective on all members to satisfy the interest of the market during the Covid-19 lockdown. Actually, we wouldn’t be amazed if Jio is as of now getting ready to discharge a form with enough changes in the UI to separate itself.

Each gathering is a secret word secured and the host can empower ‘Waiting Area’ to guarantee no member joins without authorization. It additionally permits the production of gatherings and beginning calling/visiting on a solitary snap.

Different highlights incorporate ‘Safe Driving Mode’ while driving, multi-gadget login support for up to five gadgets, and consistent changing from one gadget to other while accessible if the need arises. The application, which has just observed in excess of 5 lakh downloads on the Google Play Store and iOS, comes in the midst of the legislature forcing a restriction on 59 famous Chinese applications including TikTok on grounds that they undermined national security and information protection of the country.

As any item administrator would let you know, there’s nothing of the sort as the last UI. It’s continually advancing with times, in view of the client excursion and conduct just as with some unwavering quality testing.



JioMeet has come as a confirmation to a huge number of clients, including the Indian government, who were wary of US-based video conferencing apparatus Zoom. A few web clients in India accepted that Zoom was a Chinese application that was sharing every one of their information, despite the fact that the application was created by a Chinese-American rich person Eric Yuan and was based out of the United States. Be that as it may, Zoom attracted contention over-sharing information of certain clients outside China with the Chinese government. Before JioMeet, extremely Indian organizations had endeavored to bring a contender.

So while the purpose for JioMeet’s copycat look may not be clear, given the ongoing bans on 59 Chinese applications and the theory around Zoom, in any event, nobody can scrutinize the JioMeet dispatch timing. Obviously, its greatest test will be the manner by which it will scale up and demonstrate its utilization case outside the shopper circle. One more space to watch with regards to Reliance Jio.

In contrast to Zoom, JioMeet clients can change starting with one gadget then onto the next without dropping out of the call. Zoom permits join just with email ID while JioMeet permits join with email and versatile number.

Inside the call, Zoom shows four members one after another on a solitary versatile screen (for other people, clients need to look through various pages). JioMeet permits nine dynamic members on a solitary versatile screen.
