It also currently has speech to text captioning recognition, breakout rooms, it even allows you to do remote support because you can control the users keyboard and mouse.

We are also a small independent school, and we bought about 160 licenses at about $50 apiece. If you're already a Google customer I understand from a business perspective on using it but technically wise, I would not go back. Before WebEx Teams we used Hangouts and I found it very lacking.
