Great value for the price and easy to use
We use Google Hangouts Meet to have staff meetings and training, multiple departments across the whole company use it as it's an easy and quick way to get together in a meeting. Now that we're working from home, it has been crucial to the quick communication between staff members and other departments.
- 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
We are constantly communicating since we have been using Google Hangouts Meet; we decided through an internal meeting that this software can discuss, hold meetings, and generally share via remote. We have done meetings of about one or two hours, and it has not cut off the call; it is efficient.
- It is a very light software that supports any device; I mainly have it on my cell phone, which has been excellent.
- I communicate with my workgroup from this application to solve any problem.
- The chat is fast and very simple to use.
- I can save the chat history, see who can initiate the conversation and the high quality.
- They should fix the stability of the microphone; honestly, it is complicated to start a conversation when this specifically fails.
- I have had problems with additional recharging costs when adding my phone number.

Great video conferencing tool for Gmail users
We're using google hangouts meet to connect virtually with other team members for meetings. We also use this platform to conduct meetings with external clients and vendors since almost everyone uses Gmail. The platform has provided many benefits due to its seamless integration.
- The best part is the integration of the platform with Gmail
- It takes just a couple of clicks to invite other team members and start the meeting
- The new UI is fresh and modern
- The new UI even though is a welcome update is not the best when compared to some other top competitors
- The placements of key tabs is not very user intuitive

Google Hangouts Meet is a sensational tool to conduct meetings online. I can easily connect with my team and start an online meeting. It integrates swiftly with other Google products like Gmail.
- It is very simple to operate. All of my team members are able to operate Google Hangouts Meet efficiently.
- It interface is very user-friendly.
- Large number of people cannot participate in a meeting. Sometimes few members of my team cannot participate in a meeting.
- I think that Google should improve its video quality. The video quality is not very impressive as compared to other similar software.

Best video call service
Google Hangouts Meet is being used throughout the company to conduct meetings through video calls. We use the service practically every day to talk to customers and suppliers. Ease of use is a great strength, even without a lot of internet and technology knowledge, it is very easy to access meetings via Google Hangouts Meet.
- Ease of use
- Slideshow possibility
- Chat space
- Recording of meetings
Google Meet is used by our entire organization as our tool of choice for online meetings. It gives us an easy-to-use way of conducting our meetings with internal and external counterparts. We all use Gmail so it is easy to include in our meeting invites and options to record and present are easy to use!
- Screen sharing and presenting in one click and you can select specific windows or the entire screen
- Record functionality is simple and the delivery straight to your email is great with Drive storage as well.
- Chat also helps share links if needed.
- I always find the need to share a file during the call and not being able to do that via the chat is a miss I feel.

Google Hangouts Meet Offers a Fun Way to Meet
We use Google Hangouts Meet in my department, but not organization-wide. It’s a tool we can use to meet quickly. It’s free, convenient, and easy to use. What also helps with the use of Google Hangouts Meet is that we can easily access other Google items during our meetings. We tend to use Google software to save and edit documents. In addition, signing in and out of hangout is not difficult. Most of the software used by the university has at least a 2-step sign-in process.
- General compatibility with other Google software such as drive
- Instant messaging
- Engagement - ability to use emojis, send photos, etc
- Recording - I’ve never noticed this feature
- Sometimes the video quality isn’t the best
- Unlike Microsoft Teams, cannot preset away status

Google Hangouts is one of our communication platforms. [It] is used by all departments of the organization. The audio and video capabilities are among the features that excite me the most. It has superior audio and video quality, making it suitable for communicating at conferences. It has a fast talk feature that helps us to stay in touch with our colleagues at all times. Our collaboration benefits from its various functions, such as file sharing, links, meeting records, and calendar invitations.

- This is a great way to schedule business meetings.

We enjoyed using Google Hangouts Meet, but prefer Zoom
We have tried this platform, but it lacks the features of other services such as Zoom. We used as a test for staff meetings. I do like the live captioning feature during meetings. It also has typical features you need like standard controls, screen sharing, messaging others, working across devices, and more.
- Standard features.
- Closed Captioning.
- Integrates with most devices.
- Security features.
- Backgrounds.
- Interaction.

Google Meet Review
Google Hangouts Meet is used in our organisation to hold virtual meetings, especially during the 2020 quarantine period. Yes, Google [Hangouts] Meet is being used by all departments in our organisation at the different stages of production of media content where collaboration is necessary but involved parties cannot meet up in person. The business needs addressed are the need to collaborate in meetings remotely. This has saved our organisation a lot of logistics costs.

My experience using Google Meet for six months
Google meets is our firm's primary meetings tool. We use it at least once every three days. Google Hangouts Meet has the best audio quality even there if there are more than 10 participants in a meeting/call. We were using Hangouts call before, and we also have our own meetings tool developed in house.

Hangout with Google Hangouts!
Google Hangouts is a great way to meet with potential clients virtually.

It is easy to dial into meetings with other people.
- Ease of use is the biggest strength. Even children are able to use this app.
- Free to download.
- Valuable tool for meeting with people virtually right now.
- I do not have any suggestions for improvement.

Search No Further: Google is Eager to Meet Your Expectations
Our group presently uses Google Hangouts Meet as a critical tool within online instruction through COVID. We are engaging students across all classrooms, contents, and grade levels with direct, live instruction, as well as recorded lessons with asynchronous learners. We also utilize it for building-wide and district-wide meetings, engaging all staff simultaneously.
- Integration of other apps, like JamBoard
- Easy-to-use interface
- Integrated with Google Calendar
- Breakout rooms for smaller group discussion
- Difficult to re-add individuals who have been removed from video
- Default setting to “Spotlight” or “Grid View” can be challenging
- Limited connectivity with large groups

Best way to streamline your video communication
This has been a great software, especially for someone who has a bunch of different calls throughout the day and week with clients who live in different time zones. My favorite aspect of Google Hangouts Meet is that it allows you to sync it directly with your calendar. This prevents calls from getting overlapped with others. It also makes it super easy to invite new clients to a call, and the record feature makes it perfect for those who want to go back and review what was discussed.
- Easy to use and invite others to use
- Easy to share your screen and record meetings
- Syncs with your calendar, keeping things organized
- Additonal cost for the record feature

Instead of conference rooms we now use Google Hangouts Meet!
We use Google Meet for our weekly meetings with the team. Majority of meetings are one-on-one. At some cases whole team is at meeting (4-5 people). For the most time we use for audio and video discussions. Some time we also use screen-share options. Using Google Hangouts meet is very easy to use and it allows our team to connect even thou if we don't work together in the same office.
- Reliability
- Good quality audio
- Good quality video
- Option to record session
- Share the recordings

Great tool for business meetings
Currently, Google Hangouts Meet is being used by the entire organization. Due to Covid-19 a company-wide policy has been established that no meetings can take place, and instead all employees must use Google Meets to meet with other employees. Additionally, the sales department has been using Hangouts Meet to communicate with clients. This tool has been a great to keep employees working from home without risking infection from Covid.
- More than one way to connect to the call (a link or a phone number).
- Possibility of recording the call, and receiving said recording afterwards.
- Sharing screen.
- Cannot share only a portion of the screen.
- Sometimes the microphone doesn't work.
- If connecting to the call using the assigned phone number, the participant incurs in charges.

Google Meet is being used by my organisation for its simplicity and stable communication.
It's very easy to enter the meeting and get started. The screen sharing feature works perfectly to help conduct conference effectively. Clients and trainees can also use realtime speech to text feature even in the version. The time limit in the free version is 60 minutes which is enough to run a training session and online classes. The app takes a very small space and runs smoothly even in low end devices.
- Their Speech to Text feature is very useful.
- The shared screen can be zoomed and the contents get more detailed which helps the user to notice small details.
- The video feed is very stable and clear unlike others video conference apps.
- If you get kicked out of meeting due to bad network you can easily rejoin without any hassle.
- Sometimes the app closes suddenly.
- The free version has fewer features.

Meet: Decent Free Solution
We use Meet across the organization as our go-to resource for remote meetings. Now that we are all remote, we rely on Meet to replace what would otherwise be in-person face time. The entire organization uses it, but some team still rely on free Zoom accounts for external meetings. Meet allows us to easily stay connected without having to add operational expenses.
- There is lots of customization to the platform through add-ons.
- It is convenient and easy to integrate since we utilize G Suite.
- It's hard to beat a system that is entirely free!
- Meet as it comes doesn't have a great way to handle large meetings.
- I don't like the way they hide the mute button. It's a disruptive view to mute/unmute.
- Chat box is the only way to document collaborations within the meeting.

Simple Video Tool

- Simple to set up meetings
- Able to make video call easy to join
- Sound quality (talking when others are talking)
- More customizable screen viewing/experience
- Better picture quality

Google Hangouts Meet has been a boon during this pandemic.
My organization uses Google Hangouts Meet to informally connect with colleagues. It is used across the whole organization. Its integration with Gsuite is its best feature and makes working remotely very efficient and easy. Google Hangouts Meets integration with Gmail and Gsuite is the icing on the cake when it comes to solving business problems and also replaces tools like Slack. With Google Hangouts Meet, we do not have to pay for another conversation platform.
- Video Conferencing
- Instant Text
- File Sharing

- Free International Calling
- UI/UX
- Features like changing background in Video Chat
- Screen Control

- It doesn't work efficiently for more than 10 group of people.
