IT is very ease to use, even for the customers also.They were happy to sharing the screen using Google Meet . It is creating a lot of values to the organization. It is easy to schedule meeting whenever we want. Even for now or for later . Screen sharing is the feature most often used by our customers
  • Easy to share screen
  • Easy to record meeting
  • Easy to use its interface
Cons
  • sometimes connectivity issues might happen
  • Remote access is not there if implemented will be a good one

I used Google Meet to conduct linguistic training sessions for translators across three time zones in Indonesia. I was based in the U.S. In addition to training, we also addressed translation and language development problems experienced in the field and brainstormed solutions. We used video conferencing and employed screen sharing during each session.
  • Excellent video quality
  • Excellent audio quality
  • Seamless screen sharing
Cons
  • Problems encountered only when Internet signals were weak
  • I had some difficulty at first trying to figure out if participants could see me when I was sharing my screen.
Google Meet was a perfect video conferencing solution for us during our training sessions. The only problems encountered were due to weak signals, which sometimes required us to turn off our video. All features worked very well in tying together a team across four different time zones. I was very impressed with the tool's performance.

Google Meet is a Fantastic Communication Software

The best thing that I like about this software is that it seamlessly syncs with Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Gmail. The interface is very intuitive that makes navigation very swift.
  • The interface is seamless to navigate.
  • There is no learning curve.
  • Screen sharing is very easy.
Cons
  • The quality of video and audio could be better.
I operate Google Hangouts Meet when I am traveling. The main reason for using this great software is its interface that is very intuitive. The screen sharing and file sharing features are very convenient to use. I can easily share important documents with my clients and quickly get feedback. I love that it integrates very well with other Google products. The only area where I think that this software needs improvement is its video and audio quality.

A great platform to connect virtually!

We use Good Hangouts for anything and everything. We host team meetings with it and have a speaker share their screen. We host company-wide meetings with it. We host individual 1:1 meetings. It's a great and convenient platform to connect face to face at ease. And pretty much everyone can figure it out. Very straightforward
  • Love the ability to switch different screen views and all the settings you can choose.
  • Entry screen that gives you a preview of your video before joining the meeting.
  • Settings are easy to access. I know where to go to mute, share screen, leave call, etc.
Cons
  • Does Google Meets have breakout rooms? If not, would love to see that.
It's great for all your virtual meetings and anytime you want to connect with one or more people "face to face." If you want to share your screen and run through a presentation or collaborate with a colleague, this would be a great opportunity to use Google Hangouts. Or you could use it to connect with friends and family. It is a great alternative to Zoom!

Day-to-day video conferencing, project discussions, attending online sessions, sessions online for people who are remote, and for sure the pandemic has escalated that. Also, the screen sharing feature is great for witnessing signatures. Google Hangouts Meet has made it simple to set up emergency meetings to sort out production issues if and when they come up. A meeting is always just a link away.
  • Fully integrated with other Google Workspace products.
  • Great Customer Support section.
  • Start a meeting instantly.
  • Easy to use.
Cons
  • Limited features.
  • Not more than 100 participants.
  • No session recording feature.
Google Hangouts Meet allows others to communicate and provide direct instruction at any time point of time and from any location. Communication is made easy and manageable with just a simple open tap. Without any interruptions, communication is simplified and allows professional and personal communication needs to be met with the ease of multi-tasking steps.
