Google meet is now the main tool for conferencing, meetings with staff, customers, or suppliers within the organization.
- 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.

Google Hangouts Meet is used throughout my organization and not just my department. However, in my department, we mostly use it while making team strategies as it's quite an easy video conferencing tool. As a contact person, my department's job is to flow the information we receive throughout our organization, so Google Meet comes in handy when we are deciding to whom and where to pass the information. Our team joins for a conference call in Google Meet and we divide the work among our teammates.
- 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.

We have been using Google Meet for a very long time now to hold web meetings. It is to make quick calls and connect with teammates and clients.

- 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

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
As we are involved in an IT based company we use Google Hangouts Meet among ourselves most of the time as well as when needed we perform meeting with our clients as well. We do share our informations among our-self specially when anyone working from home or outside of office.
- 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
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

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

Hangout with Google Hangouts!
Google Hangouts is a great way to meet with potential clients virtually. That is especially important right now, with the Covid virus still running rampant and people are unwilling to meet face to face. Google Hangouts Meet is easy to download and use. 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.
- The app works really well as it is right now.
- Please do not change any of the features. It functions really well.

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

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.

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

Hangouts and Meet at Google.
Google Hangouts Meet is being used by different teams in my department as a way to communicate remotely. It doesn't address a particular business problem per se but definitely helps with communication in a remote environment.
- Ease of access
- Price
- One-click login
- Video and audio quality
- It doesn't work efficiently for more than 10 group of people.
- Accessibility with other web browsers such as Firefox, UC Browser, and Safari.

Google Meet - Is it worth it?

It is used across the whole organization. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, our district turned to Google Apps for education to provide remote learning services to our students. We purchased Google Apps, and I became of the administrators for the service. We ran an experiment to find out whether this purchase would be worth it by having some teachers operate the free version while having some teachers use Hangouts Meet (purchased). We gleaned that Meet provided much higher quality video calls and is much better suited for the business or school platforms.
- High quality video on video calls
- High quality audio on video calls
- The ability to present ones screen, optimal for presentations and such
- The tiled view has a glitch in which it occasionally does not work.
- Options to “raise a hand” virtually to get the attention of a teacher if used in an education setting
- The ability to mute particular members of the call
