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.

Google Meet for effective telecommunicating in Web Design

Google Meet made it easy to meet with clients. Sharing invites over gmail or sending links to meetings was simple, and something clients were quickly familiar with even if they had no previous experience with the product.

PROS

Google Meet was helpful to conference with clients about their project while being able to share my screen and showcase what I was speaking on.

CONS

Google Meet lacked some picture quality, and occasionally other people would drop off or lose signal if they were in a bad area.

Hangouts- not all good

My negatives happen to be that Google hang out sometimes can be distracting especially since we have been teaching virtually and the students will you think they’re paying attention to you on zoom or whatever but they’re not because they are in Google hangouts chatting with each other. This is where I have my negativity comes in because I can’t get them out of the chats and I can’t control the chats like I would like to be able to. I don’t like to be one of those teachers that says no but they need to be focusing on me during class time and not on their Google hangouts.

PROS

I have to say I have mixed review about Google hangouts.When I first found out about the Google hangouts I was really excited about it and I introduced her to my students. It was working great they could do projects together after school they could meet each other and chat about some thing they could find out what the homework was things like that also I am it really works during the COVID-19 because they can’t get together and work next week on there but they can chat to each other on the Google hangouts. With all of that sad I am I also like to use it for my colleagues and to reach out real quick and touch base. But I guess I’ll put the negatives in the con box because I do have negatives.

Google Meet Meets the Daily Grind

Honestly, there isn't anything that Google Meet can't handle for your small business or large company. Effortlessly go live, effortlessly stream presentations/meetings/interviews/chats/etc. It's user-friendly and incredibly easy to get anyone in on any meeting at any time.

PROS

The ability to go live within an instant and effortlessly stream our daily meetings with staff and potential outside guests as necessary

CONS

The chat features and the text getting lost if there were notes for meetings, but we've circumvented that

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

Google Meet effortlessly seamed to our Google Suite of products and was the easiest of the options.

Google Meet is the easiest free option

Google Meet is free and easy to access, and almost everyone has a Google account. You don’t need to download software, which is helpful for people who aren’t tech savvy. However, if you need reliable software that is dependable or strong enough for important meetings or technical presentations, I’d look elsewhere.

PROS

Google Meet is built into the Google suite of tools, so it beats every other option in terms of integration, availability, and price. It works reliably well and almost everyone has access to it. It’s also web-based so people can join without needing to download other software.

CONS

Google Meet doesn’t have the stability or capabilities of other video call options. This makes it difficult to rely on for very important meetings. There’s nothing worse than being on a call with a client and they can’t get into the call, or quality drops, or (in my case) you can’t stream a video you’ve edited.

Google Hangouts is the Place to Be!

I love Google Hangouts! It's how my team connects on a daily basis and is so easy to access and utilize. It's super user friendly and very streamlined.

PROS

This is literally the easiest chat and video conference platform, period. It truly puts other software to shame, to the point where it's hard to fathom that companies spend money on specific software to connect in this way when Hangouts is free with G-Suite and super reliable. I love that you can be on or off camera, you can readily mute yourself before even hopping into the hangout, and that it switches the view to the active speaker so that you never have to scroll or click through to see who is talking.

CONS

Sometimes, like with other Google products, it can seize up my Chrome browser. However, this is momentary and the lag will cease after a couple of seconds and allow me into the Hangout chat.

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

Fuze was constantly dropping, lagging, freezing, and had a limit on the number of people that were able to join. It was honestly TERRIBLE for my company and the quick connections we needed to be making efficiently.

Great option for communication!

Very satisfied! This allows me to stay up to date with colleagues and stay on the same page regarding projects and tasks. We tried other platforms, but given Hangouts integration with G Suite, this is hands down the best option.

PROS

Hangouts is a fantastic option for online communication with teams or individuals. Here's what I like the most: - It's a standard app in the G Suite platform so everything works with your Gmail/Drive account. There's no need to learn a new system or create a separate login. If you have a Gmail account, your good to go for free. - Integration of G Suite files is seamless and effortless. - All chat history is saved, so you can go back and review communications if you need to check on something. - The user interface is clean and user-friendly. - It's incredibly easy to learn to use. Not a steep learning curve. - You have the ability to set up contact groups/teams for special purposes. - Reliable - As long as you have a decent connection, audio and video chat is reliable and works well. - Works across devices - laptop, tablet, phone!

CONS

It lacks a few advanced features that competitors offer, but given that it's free with Drive and all that Drive offers, this is hardly a complaint. This may not be suitable for online meetings involving multiple people in places.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

The price and integration with G Suite were the major reasons.

Easy To Use Video Conferencing Tool

Using Google Hangouts Meet software I am able to stay connected with my employees and my business partner when working remotely. So, my website content, products inventory and customer complaints continue to be addressed while I am not physically present in my brick and mortar apparel store. The best part is the fact that I don't have to pay a subscription fees or maintenance fees. Hence, my ROI is high. If I face any issues with the software, I am able to find plenty of support in Google portal and other blogs.

PROS

I need to stay connected with my employees in store and business partner when I am working remotely from my home or hotel. Google Hangouts Meet software enables me to be in touch. So I can discuss any content changes on my e-commerce website, new order processing or answer any customer questions or complaints with products purchased. My favorite features include screen sharing and setting-up a new meeting using Google's calendar which is integrated into my Gmail account. Because I can share my computer screen to show to my employees specific product pages on website which need to be updated. And, quickly set-up a call with my business partner for quarterly review of our business profits and losses.

CONS

I struggle with two specific features of Google Hangouts Meet when using them to connect and collaborate. First, the share screen feature. It doesn't work until I double-click in step 2. In step 1, I click 'screen share' and then I have to complete step 2. Second, after the video conference starts, I hear participant's voice echo. Or, screen multiplying. So, I have to ask the participant to mute. Or, I have to ask the participant to click join Hangout once and then screen share or disconnect and join the hangout call again. These two challenges with Google Hangouts Meet cause confusion and reduce productivity of calls.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

I chose Google Hangouts Meet over GoToMeeting because it has no license fees to use the software, is able to provide all audio and video conferencing features to stay connected with my employees and business partner. So, I can keep my apparel business running smoothly and efficiently even when I am not physically present in my brick and mortar store. I have been able to lift my product revenue and margins using Google Hangouts Meet which has allowed me to provide healthy compensation and benefits to my employees.

Google Hangouts! Give it a try, you'll love it!

Overall I loved using google hangouts! It's clean, fast, responsive, good quality video and audio calls and my students love it. Seeing both email and chat's also in Gmail has also been a cool feature just another part of the synchronicity. A great product that is available for free and a product that should be used by everyone.

PROS

In the past I've used many other video conferencing platforms such as skype, zoom or even Whatsapp, but recently I made the switch to use Google Hangouts to communicate with students and I have to say I love it. During these tough times it's hard to meet students and I've committed to doing online teaching and using google hangouts. It syncs up very smoothly and easily to your google account, receiving notifications and messages to any of your devices connected to your google account. It has a very clean and simple interface that can be used very easily in a professional setting. It has great quality in transmitting, voice and video output and the best part about this product is that it's completely free.

CONS

I have no cons regarding this software, my only issue may be that hangouts is not as popular as some of the other video conferencing software's out there. Also maybe a potential negative is the ability for video calls to be automatically recorded and an option for me to download said call afterwards would be a great addition. Hopefully with this review and others I can get more people to use this software for all their needs.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

Due to Zoom's safety and security risks of it's data. Also due to the fact that Google Hangouts has a much cleaner interface, better synchronicity and my students have found this to be much easier to use.

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

Due to the fact that hangouts is much easier to use, slick and clean layout, synchronicity with my google account and other devices, and finally the fact that it's completely free to use.

Google What?

I have loved using Google Meet. I have used it for my students, and for my family. It is a simple tool that works with any modern browser, and it has apps for mobile platforms that work pretty well. The self-preview window is tiny, so that takes some time to get used to.

PROS

This tool is built seamlessly into the Google Suite, so if your organization is a GSuite organization or if you are a Gmail user, you have access to this, free of charge, and it works very well. The controls are quite straightforward. The tool is not very feature rich, but whatever it does, it does well. The integration with Gmail came a little late, and was largely in response to Covid19, and before this the tool was only meant for enterprise users.

CONS

Google's messaging and meeting platform is full of confusion. The fact that I started out thinking I was writing a review for Google Hangouts and then I ended up on the Google Meet review page is a good summary of this bungled world of messaging. Google is not a reliable company when it comes to communication. They have gone back and forth on Hangouts, Meet, Messenger, Wave, Plus, Duo, Allo... you name it, they have it, and nothing has really lasted forever. Google Meet works for now, but who knows where it will be in a year!

Reasons for switching to Google Meet

BlueJeans did not have compatible apps for older Android devices, and some of the non-standard app stores for Android don't even carry the BlueJeans app. When I had international video conferences, using BlueJeans was a challenge. You needed to have BlueJeans Rooms which is not a part of the free platform, so it is really not feasible for one to have meetings with people outside the organization. Google Meet has no such issues that I am aware of.

Google Meet is the best choice for a free video-conferencing service

Google Meet is the best choice if you're seeking for a free video-conferencing service for lengthier meetings. Due to the limited time available with Zoom, I will need to cut meetings in half.

PROS

The duration of a call with Google Meet is unrestricted. However, beginning in March 2021, Google will limit meetings to 60 minutes. There is a real-time captioning technology in Google Meet. As a result, it is simple to understand what other meeting attendees are saying. Non-native speakers and persons with hearing difficulties will benefit from this resource. This information is only available in English, so keep that in mind. Google Meet allows users to search for and utilize a large number of emoticons as well as GIFs. They can be used by anyone at any moment throughout the talks. All data communicated in Google Meet is encrypted by default. This platform adheres to IETF security guidelines. Small and medium-sized enterprises face a number of cybersecurity concerns, but Google Meet provides privacy and security during video conferencing. 2SV, security keys, Google Prompt, SMS, and Google Authenticator can all be used to protect your account. Enroll in the Google APP for added protection and privacy (Advanced Protection Program).

CONS

I can't record their video sessions on Meet's free plan. I may, however, capture and keep them on Google Drive if I have a business plan. Google Meet allows up to 150 people to join the discussion, however video calls are limited to 25 people at a time. This video conferencing service provider is ideal for people who are in a small group or simply want to talk to a few family members or acquaintances. Participants who do not have a Google account are unable to join the meetings, eliminating the potential of anonymous attendees. There is a gap in Google meet when it comes to tracking and statistics. I'm unable to change the background of the screen. Even the Google Meet app lacks the Touch Up My Appearance tool, which is a skin smoothing filter that improves your appearance when making video chats.

"The Ultimate Virtual Meeting Solution: A Review of Google Meet"

I have a positive experience with Google Meet. The software is praised for its ease of use, allowing us to quickly and efficiently connect with others from anywhere in the world. The audio and video quality is generally considered to be excellent, with clear and smooth connections even in low-bandwidth environments. Additionally, the ability to add up to 100 participants in a single call and the option to mute/unmute and record meetings for later review are also highly valued features.I also appreciate the flexibility offered by Google Meet, as it can be accessed from any device, including desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. The interface is considered to be straightforward and user-friendly, making it easy for users to navigate and find the features they need. Additionally, the integration with other Google services, such as Google Calendar and Gmail, allows users to easily schedule and manage meetings, further streamlining the process.Overall, I find Google Meet to be a valuable tool for remote communication and collaboration, particularly in today's world where more people are working and communicating from home. Despite some minor drawbacks and areas for improvement, users highly recommend Google Meet for its ability to facilitate effective and efficient virtual meetings.

PROS

Google Meet is a popular video conferencing platform that has taken the business and education world by storm. With its user-friendly interface, advanced features and reliability, it's no wonder that users love this software.Personally I like about Google Meet is its ease of use. It's straightforward to join a meeting and start participating, even for those who are new to video conferencing. The software's interface is intuitive, and all the tools are easily accessible.Another important feature that users appreciate is the high-quality audio and video. With Google Meet, users can expect clear and stable audio and video, which is crucial for effective communication and collaboration.I also like the ability to join from any device, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This flexibility makes it easy for people to participate in meetings from anywhere, at any time. The platform supports up to 100 participants, which makes it ideal for larger meetings and webinars.Finally, Google Meet provides excellent security features, including encrypted meetings and the ability to control who can join. This security is essential for sensitive information and discussions, and users appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their conversations are protected.In conclusion, Google Meet is an exceptional video conferencing software that has a lot to offer its users. With its ease of use, high-quality audio and video.

CONS

I often express frustration with the limited screen sharing capabilities, lack of customisation options, difficulty in navigating and finding features, and the occasional glitches or technical difficulties during meetings. Some time i also dislike the restrictions on recording and playback, as well as the limited virtual background options. Additionally, some I find the interface and user experience to be clunky and unrefined, and feel that the software could benefit from further development and improvement. Despite these drawbacks, however still I consider Google Meet to be a valuable tool for remote communication and collaboration.

Reason for choosing Google Meet

I choose Google Meet over Zoom Meetings & Skype because of its seamless integration with other Google services, ease of use, and excellent audio and video quality. The ability to add up to 100 participants in a single call and the option to mute/unmute and record meetings for later review are also highly valued features. Additionally, Google Meet's ability to run on any device and its user-friendly interface makes it a popular choice for remote communication and collaboration.

It is probably the easiest and most reliable online chat app, in both computers and cellphones. It allows you to make free calls to other hangouts users anywhere and at anytime, and with multiple recipients at the same time, which is great for conferences and also more informal calls between friends and family. It provides some great customization features regarding devices used, as well as video quality, which allows you to lower the quality of video sent and received in case that your internet speed is not high enough for HD conversations, which is a great feature to have under any circumstance. Hangouts also provides a service that allows you to call cellphones or landlines directly, even if they have no affiliation to hangouts, which is a great feature, especially for contacting family members who might not be as good with technology as the average person. Overall it is very practical, the menus are simple and easy to follow, and it only requires a google account to use, so it is very practical and easy to grasp for new users.

CONS

It has a few less options regarding videocalls than some other softwares. For example, it doesn't give you the option of setting up the cameras in group calls so that you can see all the callers equally, but rather prioritizes whoever is talking. This works well in organized discussions, but is not so great for more informal calls.
