## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> **Pick the one that matches the productivity suite you already pay for.** Video quality across the top tier is close enough in 2026 that ecosystem fit and cost matter more than features.
> 
> ### 1. Google Meet - best default for most small/mid remote teams
> Cleanest UX, nothing to install, and it's effectively free if you're already on Google Workspace (from ~$7/user/mo on Business Starter). Free tier does 60-minute meetings with up to 100 people, which genuinely covers a lot of teams. Weakest at large webinars.
> 
> ### 2. Microsoft Teams - best if you're already on Microsoft 365
> Not really a video tool - it's a workspace where chat, channels, files, and 800+ integrations live together, and meeting recordings auto-attach to the relevant channel. That persistent-context advantage is real for distributed teams. Note Microsoft raised prices July 1, 2026 (Business Basic $6→$7, Business Standard $12.50→$14, Teams Essentials $4→$4.50). Downside: it's heavy and the UI is cluttered.
> 
> ### 3. Zoom - best for external meetings and webinars
> Still the most reliable on bad connections, and the best at *outside* guests: clients click a link and they're in, no account needed. Breakout ro
