Overall Satisfaction with Google Hangouts (Classic)

We use it internally and externally for virtual business meetings. It helps everyone connect online when we can not meet in person.
  • Easy to set up
  • Allows screen share
  • Free
  • Allow recording
  • Access is not tied to email
  • In some settings, it allows for more participants
  • Free to use, great for ROI
  • Easy integration with Google Calendar
  • Invites can be edited easily
It was integrated into our Google Business Suite and free to use. We selected it because it was easy to create hangouts wth the Google Calendar.
Free with Google Business Suite plan and its usability is sustainable for us. It would be a 10 if we could record.
The rare times we reached out to Google for support, it was easy to contact someone via chat or phone, and our issues or questions were always resolved or answered quickly.

Would you buy Google Hangouts (Classic) again?

Yes

It is a great solution for online virtual meetings in comparison to the free Zoom account. It does not allow the moderator to record the meeting. It also works well when you want to connect with a phone call with Facetime. It would not be as useful for formal business meetings.
