Google acquired Marratech video conferencing software

Google announced on its official blog that it has acquired video conferencing software from Marratech in Sweden, which will allow Google users to participate in video conferencing from their desktops wherever there is a network connection.
It is reported that the Marratech video conferencing software can run on multiple operating system platforms, including Windows, MacOS and Linux. Marratech has also announced its acquisition by Google on its official website.

However, Google did not announce more details and prices, and it is rumored that Google acquired the video conferencing software of Marratech for $14.5 million.
In recent years, network video conferencing has developed rapidly, and hardware video functions are powerful and stable, but their prices are high. In software video, although most instant messaging software currently has video functions, however, it faces a "multi-point control bottleneck ".
Some analysts believe that with the further stability and expansion of network bandwidth, low-cost software video communication will be able to compete with hardware video conferencing equipment. Google's acquisition of the Marratech video conferencing software may have taken a fancy to the development prospects of the software video.
