Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts (Classic)

We are using it across the organization for different types of communication- internal, external, chat, video conferencing and for screen share. This software helps us connect easily with each other from anywhere and also allows us to connect to individuals outside in an easy manner. We’ve used this for employees or students that are unable to attend in person.
  • Simple screen share
  • Minimal setup
  • OS agnostic including mobile
  • Works well with low speed connections
  • Screen share on mobile
  • Better chat extension on Chrome
  • Better invite options
  • Simple chat interface
  • Can create groups or just message individually
  • Get iOS, Chrome extension, web, and Android user interface
Since our staff and students already used Google products it was easy to add on this feature. We deployed it district wide at the start of the pandemic. Students and staff were easily able to learn the interface and we could mass deploy it on our Chromebooks. We really liked that it works on all platforms.
