Google Meet vs. Tencent VooV Meeting (TVM)

If you have a small team, use Google Meet. If you want to have a weekly check-up, use Google Meet. If you want to do a small hosting of conferences — kind of like a webinar, I would say to be very specific — Google Meet is really, really good. So that’s what my recommendations are.

It is most ideal for meetings with people residing in China. Outside of China, it is less common compared to Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, and other popular meeting platforms. While it is lesser known, it possesses powerful features and is technically on par with any other meeting platform. I have no issues using it on a daily basis. For someone whose primary calendar is Google, perhaps Google Meet is still the most seamless integrated solution.

• I think it's fairly easy to operate. Once people get in, they know where the buttons are and stuff.
• The chat's good.
• It does good transcriptions.
• I like the backgrounds that are available.
• I like the just overall, I guess the layout is simple and most people know how to use it, which is good.

• One of the challenges that I see is that whenever we have in a meeting, we won't be able to drop some of the documents that we have. That's one of the big challenges which I see in Google Meet. At that point of time, we either have to Slack or we have to share an email. We cannot do that, like sending that particular document in the Google meet chat.

This app is still having a lot of redundant features as compared to other industry apps such as Zoom and Webex which offers much more on the functionality side along with the option to have greater user access control to the admin/host of the meetings. A sense of interaction is always found to be missing in Google meet which can be easily adopted in the Zoom

Google Meet is very easy and simple to use. I can schedule a meeting right on my calendar - it literally takes a few seconds. There is no additional app I have to open to schedule anything. Guests can click on the link easily to join any meetings. 10/10!

Google does a great job of providing tech support for this product, as it does many others. Similarly, Google has FAQs that cover a large amount of issues faced by users. Problems have not persisted in our use of this product. Problems are resolved quickly and easily, with or without personal Google support.

The main positive feature in Google Meet over Zoom to me is the fact that Google meet can be seamlessly deployed in the browser with its full functionality. Unlike Zoom for which you need to download an extra application to use. This consequently makes workflow smooth when transitioning between something like emails and taking part in a meeting.

Technically, TVM is on par and perhaps perform better than most of the rest. It does a really good job at what it's supposed to do, a meeting platform with strong support features for video, audio and presentation. The only issue is in prevalence, there doesn't seem to be a web version available, so invitees who don't have the TVM platform are required to download and install the software before they can join a meeting. This creates more friction compared to Google and MS Teams, which offer web versions of the meeting interface.

I wasn't involved in the unit pricing factor. So far I used Google meet in the office where I got access to all these Google applications including the Google Meet feature. So I wasn't involved much in this pricing factor of Google Meet and also regarding the contact terms of the product.

This is very good in the professional services as I started using this first for the professional service only. While using this Google Meet itself gives a professional feel as the UI works in a professional way. The video background modification, multi-screen feature, and some other features help in professional service.

• Negative: on each webinar someone from our team had to write manually the people that were participating and after that matching it with the registered people list. We wasted time. It could be easily resolved by adding the export list feature
• Positive: Collaboration and internal meetings. Calendar integration helps us save time.
