I am currently using Google Meet in my organization for daily standup, important meetings, and basically for all meetings that we communicate between teams for any information to be shared. The business problem so far I faced is the internet as it requires some high bandwidth to make clear audios otherwise it will make some unclear audios.
  • Good user interface
  • Quick connection with the person
  • Multiple person screen sharing
  • Able to choose people to be on the screen instead of random 10 people to be shown on screen
  • Better noise cancellation
  • UI theme changes access
I would give a 9.5 rating to Google Meet. It is well suited for all the basic communication and connecting between the person will happen within a second and also since many people have Gmail so there won't be any necessity to create separate credentials for this meet and it is easy to understand for everyone.

  • Easy accessible - positive
  • Easy connect through mobile - positive
  • Requires good bandwidth - negative
As mentioned earlier I would give 9.5 too but the only concern that reduces .5 is the slightly higher bandwidth requirement, other than that this is an excellent application to use for official meetings and also for all communications with other person either audio and also through audio and video.
With respect to usability so far I used many meeting applications this will be the best one in regards to usability compared to other applications from my experience. The user interface of this application, the audio-video enable and disable feature at any time, multi-screen ability feature, and many other features make this product a review of 10 from my experience.
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.
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.

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
  • 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.

  • Enabled a widely de-centralized team to work together effectively.
  • Participants completed training and received their desired certifications.
  • Facilitated high morale among team members during the pandemic.
I never had to call for support, but I'm certain that it would have been provided effectively and in a timely manner.
The only problem I had was understanding who could see whom when we were sharing screens. After I figured out this feature, I had no further problems with Google Meet.
I did not use this feature.
No.
