Why Most Organizations Use More Than One Meeting Platform, And Why Mago Gives You Freedom of Choice

Today’s workplaces depend on video meetings more than ever. But here’s the truth: many IT teams already know:

Most organizations use more than one meeting platform.

Studies show that 85% of companies use more than one video conferencing tool, usually because different teams, customers, and partners all prefer different platforms. Some teams work in Microsoft Teams, while others use Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, or specialty platforms. 👉 If your company uses more than one platform, you’re not alone.

And this is exactly why Mago doesn’t lock you into a single meeting ecosystem. Instead, we give people and organizations the freedom to join any call, share content instantly, and collaborate without hassle.

Why Do So Many Organizations Use Multiple Video Platforms?

Here are the most common reasons companies end up with more than one meeting tool:

1. Different teams have different needs

Sales teams may use Zoom for customer meetings. Engineering prefers Teams because it ties into Microsoft 365. Marketing might join Google Meet calls with agencies.

2. Customers and partners control the invite

Even if your company standardizes on one platform, your clients do not. You must join their meeting room on their platform.

3. Hybrid work changed everything

Employees now join meetings from home, offices, hotels, and airports. They may have only downloaded certain platform apps to their mobile devices. Flexible work = flexible platforms.

4. Features are split across apps

Different platforms provide select features preferred by one group or another.

5. People want meetings to be simple

Based on countless conversations with end customers, IT teams, and my YouTube community, the message is clear:

People don’t care what hardware is in the room or what meeting app they’re joining. They just want to join the freaking meeting!

If this sounds like your workplace, it’s time for a smarter solution.

The Real Problem: Meeting Friction

Even with great hardware, people still struggle with basic tasks.

Let’s be honest: Most people never use the dozens of advanced features inside video conferencing platforms. Either they don’t know they exist… They don’t know how to use them… Or they simply don’t care.

They want the same thing every time:

This is exactly what Mago Pro was built for.
