It has a significant importance and due to its borderless integration I use it to connect to the teams based out of my country's geographical borders. Moreover it becomes highly feasible and easy for me to set up meetings with anyone because of the find a time feature and also send them a invite and reminders without me having to take no additional steps for the same.

A simple and indispensable tool for the home office!! We use it every day, Google Meet is one of the most used tools in the company. We do all our daily meetings there, the weekly and monthly ones as well. there are many internal meetings with customers through Meet! we spend an average of 40 minutes in our daily meetings, the weekly meetings are around 60 minutes, and the monthly meetings are also around 60 minutes. As our company operates entirely from home, it is an indispensable tool for us.
- Presentation, fast and quality image.
- Works with a bad connections.
- Backup call, if we have problems we can use a number to call and continuous at de call, just calling a phone number!
- Simple to use
- Personalization of the organization of the camera screens presents in the call.
- Improve the chat, I don't know, but it should improve usability or accessibility, maybe stay in another part of the meet space.
- Notifications, I hate forget a call, maybe if I stay at the main room I could be noticed.

Meet the world from wherever you are
I have used Google Hangout Meets for my contact with the team I was mentoring during a hackathon organised by the British Computer Society and establishing some new relationships with potential business partners. I found it very helpful to connect with people regardless of the organisations they belonged to - in the end quite a few people have google account nowadays.
- helped to connect different people
- gave us space to discuss the topic
- enabled sharing other resources
- captions
- I found setting up the meeting less intuitive than other similar apps
- I struggle to get back to in-call messages after meeting was finished
- when I first set up the meeting my partners have not got their invitations

Hangouts Meet is our go to option when it comes to a quick call or discussion. Apart from one on one audio/video calls, we use it to setup meetings in the team. Its used in the whole organization. It helps us with quick and easy connectivity with each other, let it be amongst the team or with the customers.
- 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.
Google Hangouts is used as a video conferencing application in our company since after the pandemic started. As our offices were forced to close for offline work, the members of the company decided to move to Google Hangouts/Google Meet for the meetings with our clients. We usually talk with our clients and peers using the application.
- 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

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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

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.

Google Hangouts Meet has been a boon during this pandemic.

Its integration with Gsuite is its best feature and makes working remotely very efficient and easy.

With Google Hangouts Meet, we do not have to pay for another conversation platform.

Google Meet: Great for a hangout, not for an office meet!
Most students at our University have access to Google Hangouts Meet. We started using it more frequently during quarantine and it has been used for staff meetings, and for social interactions. I have used it for virtual games in addition to other interactions as well. Students have generally found this to be an easy to use tool. Since there is no additional cost, this is a great choice for our case. We are already subscribers of the Google Suite for Education, which includes Google Hangouts Meet.
- Browser-based interface available, no installation needed.
- Simple mobile app.
- Screen-share capability.
- Preview window is very small.
- Chat is not integrated with hangouts, it's a little confusing.
