- Can allow multiple participants including externals
- Can share documents during the meeting or share screen
- Can manage other participants
- Can now include CC
- Can be used from Mobile Devices
- I would like to see and standalone desktop application (not an extension)
- If the app could have a widget to see open contacts or calendar would be good but is not relevant at all
- A PIN protection feature will be good to have more private meetings.
All-in-one, free, easy to use, and great for team communication
- First off, the quality of the call is pretty good, especially when all of us are working remotely.
- We can easily schedule our meeting in Google Calendar.
- Sending an invitation link is easy.
- What makes Google Meet stand out from other video conferencing tools is that we can use it for an unlimited time, even if we use the free account.
- There is no hand raise feature in a normal account on Google Meet, unlike in Zoom where participants can raise hands in meetings hosted from a normal account.
- Having a grid view feature would take Google Meet to another level.
- The meeting recording option is hard to find.
Huddles made easy!!
The reason we like "Meet" is it does not require any major app installations on computer devices, it's easy and simple to use. It also consumes lesser data in comparison to other software with the same features.
- Ease-of-use
- Screen share and Subtitle features
- Integration capabilities

- Data consumption to a minimal
- lack of certain features on mobile

- a dedicated desktop app
Better Connectivity with Google Meet
- Google Meet is easy to use and offers great features
- The quality of video and audio is amazing
- Deployment is easy
- Never buffers when network is unstable
- No recording option for free users
- The free version comes with limited features
Its easy to meet with Google Meet
- Low data usage. Works perfectly fine even on slow network.
- No installation needed. Web version is all you need. Fully supported my major web browsers like Chrome & Edge.
- Captions are great. Non-native English speakers may find it useful. Just turn on the Captions and it starts translating the audio in real-time.
- Support background images. Definitely useful when we need to hide our room condition.
- Breakout room, polls, Q&A options are added advantage.
- Not suited when we have to address a huge set of people. We usually face problems when we have more than 60 participants and prefer other platforms.
- Each participant is shown as a tile which could have been made resizable.
- Recording is like a basic need. It should be made available to free users as well.
Its integration with calendar makes it really useful. This makes it easier to include meeting URL in the invite. It also get the attachments automatically from your calendar when you are in meeting.
It works even when you have a slow network. The mobile application is equally useful and dependable.
- Easy to use
- Bug friendly
- Good Screen Sharing capablity
- Very good video quality
- Inviting members in the meeting
- Live Polling in the meeting
- Document Sharing
- It’s a very well decorated and one kind of classic softwares.
- It’s based on cloud basis so easily can use from anywhere you wanted.
- Video quality is satisfied.
- The other features including sharing files is also very easy.
- It’s nonetheless a very well performing software.
- Sometimes too much load of audience make some difficulties to perform any meeting as video interrupted.
- And sometimes audio quality differs slightly late to reach.
Great value for the price and easy to use
- First and foremost, it's free. It has a limited amount of users and time, but the value is great.
- It's easy to access, as you don't have to download any application and the connection to the servers is great.
- The user interface is simple and clear for everyone, you may not be able to use it with children, but everyone is able to read and act accordingly when performing a task (sharing screens, sharing files, chatting, turning features off and on, etc.).
- You can use features in Google's portfolio to your advantage while using it
- It doesn't have all the features that other meeting/training options have, like annotations that are easy to use or remote control when sharing a screen
Webinars or presentations where participation is not completely necessary are great in Google Hangouts Meet too.
For training classes where the participants need to control the presenter's computer or someone would like to annotate directly in someone else's computer, it might not be ideal, as you could do it downloading an extension, but it's not integrated.
