Microsoft Teams vs Google Meet vs Zoom: Choosing the Right Platform for Your Business AV Needs

In today’s hybrid work landscape, video conferencing platforms are essential tools for effective communication and collaboration. At Clever AV, we help businesses design and install AV systems that integrate seamlessly with the platforms they rely on most. Whether you’re outfitting a boardroom, huddle space, or training room, choosing the right video conferencing platform plays a critical role in long-term usability.

Three major platforms dominate the market: Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom. Here's how they stack up for commercial AV environments:

Microsoft Teams

Deep integration with Office apps (Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive)
Native compatibility with Teams-certified hardware (Crestron, Logitech, Yealink, etc.)
Persistent chat, file sharing, and robust meeting scheduling
Strong security and compliance for enterprise use

Google Meet

Simple, browser-based interface—no software download needed
Integrated with Google Calendar and Gmail
Fast, easy setup for ad-hoc meetings
Minimal learning curve

Zoom

Known for high-quality video/audio and stability
Wide range of Zoom Room-certified hardware
Breakout rooms, webinars, and virtual whiteboarding
Extensive third-party integrations and plugins

Final Thoughts

Each platform offers unique advantages depending on your organization's tools, meeting habits, and AV infrastructure.

Teams is best for Microsoft-centric environments with standardized meeting room hardware.
Zoom delivers flexibility and rich features for complex or multi-purpose AV setups.
Google Meet is a lightweight option for quick meetings and small rooms.

At Clever AV, we help you choose and install the right video conferencing system based on your platform of choice, space size, and collaboration needs. If you're unsure which direction to take, our team is here to guide you from planning to post-install support.
