Pros
- Runs directly in the browser without installation
- EU data region selectable in Workspace (Business Standard and up)
- Full Swedish interface and automatic captions
- Certified under Google's Workspace portfolio (ISO 27701, C5 etc.)
Cons
- American company, Cloud Act applies regardless of chosen data region
- Free version gives no control over where data is stored
- Data regions cover data at rest, not all processing
- Fewer meeting features than Zoom and Teams (webinars, telephony)
