About Google Meet

Google Meet is a video conferencing app. It is the business-oriented version of Google's Hangouts platform and is suitable for businesses of all sizes. The solution enables users to make video calls with up to 30 users per high-definition video meeting.

The app allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number. Google Meet integrates with G Suite versions of Google Calendar and Gmail and shows the complete list of participants and scheduled meetings. It shows a "join" button for users to connect to the meeting and provides options to mute and turn off the video during the meeting.

Google Meet allows users to dial in phone numbers to access meetings, thus enabling users with slow or no internet connection to call in. However, dial-in numbers are only available to the G Suite enterprise edition customers.

great for everyday meetings with some limitations

Overall, it a nice platform, its very easy to use and doesn't require the downloading of any external apps. It's great for everyday meetings that don't require the use of complex tools.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Google Meets is a reliable and easy-to-use video conferencing platform, it's interface is clean and simple and it's very user-friendly. You do not need to downland and extra apps and it integrate well with other google services. There is screensharing and live captions as well. There is also fun filters and backgrounds options.

Cons:

Recording and other certain features (like time limits) require a paid plan. Screen Sharing has some bugs, like freezing or other restrictions. Compared to other platforms like zoom there is less AI features and poorer customizations (including whiteboards & polls).

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

While we do still use zoom for some meetings, google meets is easier for daily simpler meetings, since its easier to work with since we use a google workspace.

Pros:

Google meet is super easy to use, never has bugs or issues, and the price is significantly lower than other options we had available. The screen share works perfectly and the latency is always low.

Cons:

I don't really think we have any cons for google meet. If I had to pick something it would just be when hosting meetings for people outside the company who have not used it, they have to mess around for a moment to learn the interface.

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

The cost was too high with zoom and the customer service wasn't great. We wanted something new and fresh
