While apps offer you a broad range of features, you can still join calls and web conferences through a browser even without an app installed. Apart from that, you get all the standard web communication features like screen sharing, audio calls, video conferencing and project collaboration. As for the limit, Zoho Meeting can host up to 100 participants at one time which is nowhere near Zoom, but if you have a small team then it’s pretty good.
