My virtual meeting room

Google Meet has allowed me to work with people around the world, its easy integration has made it easier for me to set up meetings, and the feature of share my screen has allowed me to hold very productive meetings.

PROS

Integration with your Google account, you can generate your virtual meeting from your email, from your calendar, etc. Screen sharing allows you to improve your presentation

CONS

It lacks some features, like being able to make notes about what you are presenting ... and the option of being able to record the meeting or part of the meeting.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

Integration with your Google account.

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

People hardly have a hotmail account anymore, the gmail account is used more.

A Replacement for Zoom that I Already Had Available

Overall, a great product. I use it for meetings, strategy sessions, and even just virtual hang outs.

PROS

Google Meet is exactly what it says it is - an online video conferencing tool! Participants can join, chat, talk, observe, and share files on the call. I've used Zoom for a long time, but once I discovered that Meet was already built in to my GSuite subscription, I cancelled it and began to use Meet. The new scheduling features that Google deployed also greatly improves the overall process.

CONS

At first I didn't like the interface, since I was so used to Zoom. Once I got used to it, it was much easier to navigate. The other issue I find is that if someone doesnt have a google account, they get a bit confused when trying to join the call if they're not experienced with it.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

I was alerady paying for it, so it was a no brainer.

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

Google Meet was already built in to my GSuite subscription, so paying for Zoom was a waste of my hard earned cash!

Always have technical issues

Poor. It always creates issues during on camera meetings.

PROS

It’s a substitute for me if I don’t have Zoom, Skype or WebEx available. Not my preference.

CONS

Google Meet doesn’t work properly for on camera meetings especially when I use Chrome browser.

Always conected up to date

optimization of spaces and time, it is not necessary to go to a physical meeting room when instantly from your computer or cell phone you can meet at an unlimited distance.

PROS

It is light and powerful, it has a lot of functionality in our hands, we do not need just a computer, from our mobiles and wherever we are, information instantly.

CONS

I have no cons, and that is good when you need everything instantly and be able to have the peace of mind that it will not leave us adrift

Reason for choosing Google Meet

Quality,compatibility and weight.
