Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts
I use Google Hangouts to communicate with a wide variety of clients in order to have conversations about projects we are working on. I tend to often engage in video chat as well as screen sharing so that I can show them what the work entails instead of just explaining it on a phone call.
- Video Chat
- Screen Sharing
- Adding someone from Gmail
- You have to install a Chrome extension first
- Not everyone gets audio if they are using a Mac
- The interface could use improvement, not all the buttons are clear
- It has made communication easier
- More clients have had face to face meetings with me
- It syncs with all my devices
I like Google Hangouts more than Appear, Skype, and Zoom. While Appear is lighter and easier, it's also more limited. Skype is too slow and clunky, plus I have to install the program. And Zoom is complicated, you have to install a program, and it doesn't always work well with more than 2 participants.
