Google Meet

Pros

User friendly UI and tools.
Screen Sharing and Presentation Tools are really good
ease of use

Cons

Participants need a Google account to join Google Meet meetings, which may be a barrier for users who prefer not to create or use Google accounts.
Google Meet offers limited customisation options for meeting layouts, backgrounds etc compared to other applications available

Pros

It is very easy to use and is a native integration with the entire Google Suite. I like how a meeting link is automatically generated within Google Calendar when sending out meeting invites.

Cons

I do not like how accessing a meeting can become limiting for users who do not have an email address associated with Google.

Cons

I don't have any issues with Google Meet.

Maybe a client software that let you do some calls with no need of a browser could be nice, at least for windows or linux.

Its integration with the other Google suite (ie, Calendar, mail, drive, etc) makes for a very fluid business experience. The calls are a consistent good quality in both audio and video, and the host has good control of sharing, muting, etc.

Cons

Sometimes invites to meetings will have issues with the link being invalid or needing specific permissions to access, even when unintended. This can lead to a delay in meetings at times.

Pros

I love how it shows your upcoming meeting and you can easily start the meeting when your the host as early as you would like! I appreciate the easy access for my clients where all they have to do is click the link to join! I also love how they don't have to be an invite to join as you can have others hop on too! I also like how you can upload your own background - however the options available are also great!

Cons

I would like to be able to block out background noise and make it so even invites have to wait in a waiting room.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use google meet.
And it has a large participant capacity making it suitable for small and large meetings.

Cons

So far I haven’t encountered any problems using this software.

Reasons for Switching to Google Meet

Pros

I like most about Google Meet is how it effortlessly connects people from different parts of the world, making meetings and collaboration easy without the need for travel.It's incredibly convenient for attending conferences and classes from anywhere, helping to bring everyone together, whether it's for business or education. The platform is user-friendly, saving time and resources while keeping communication smooth and efficient.

Cons

I like least about Google Meet is that it lacks some advanced features like breakout rooms and detailed analytics, which could make meetings more interactive and insightful. Additionally, its customization options are limited, so it doesn’t offer much flexibility for those who want a more personalized experience. If you're not already using Google’s ecosystem, it can also feel a bit restrictive.

Pros

I like how it is easy to use and send the link to someone to join the meet. Also it links with my Google email account and joins me in the meet right away. It also doesn't require any subscription to buy the time. It can run for hours. My boyfriend and I tried staying up on it for almost a day and the meeting does not close.

Cons

There are glitches where it mutes the other end

Pros

Everything! I have nothing bad to say about this tool

Cons

There's no cons, to be honest, it's the best for WFH meetings

Pros

The most feature I liked about Google Meet is that it enables you to make a group call and record it for the absent people.

Cons

It could be about the screen sharing, Google Meet enables you to share one screen at a time. I would like for example to share more than one screen.

Pros

I really like Google Meet for its simplicity and effectiveness. The video calls are clear, and it's easy to set up meetings or join them with just a link. The screen sharing feature is handy for presentations or collaboration, and the real-time chat makes communication during meetings seamless. It's user-friendly and reliable, making virtual meetings straightforward and efficient. Overall, Google Meet is a great tool for staying connected and collaborating with others online.

Cons

One potential drawback of Google Meet is that some advanced features, like breakout rooms, are available only in the premium version. Additionally, the interface may feel a bit basic compared to some other video conferencing tools. While it's straightforward, some users might prefer more customization options. Overall, these are minor points, and Google Meet remains a reliable and user-friendly platform for virtual meetings.

Pros

I love how simple Google Meet can be used by myself and also with my clients. I've used Google Meet for 2+ years daily with my clients and sports teams. Everything has been super smooth and meeting my needs and expectations.

Cons

Few bugs with the audio at times and small bugs with the video transmission when sharing my screen

Pros

My other friends doesnt even need to download a separate app and the virtual background is just awesome what we enjoy a lot and that just give us a new experience. I love how Google meet adjusts the resolution in seconds and if someone got disconnected he/she can join the meeting anytime he/she wanted

Cons

My all friends cannot see the shared screen and we cannot record our meetings without being into the paid versions.

Pros

Overall google meet platform is Excellent the key feature in general use like 1. create a new meeting and 2. Enter a code or link this two features are most Remarkable in terms of UI Together with the click pop up which has options of 1. Create a meeting for later, 2. Start an instant meeting, and 3. Schedule in google calendar it Sets apart from others google meet on top of others also

One more thing, when the meeting starts, a popup will appear on the left hand bottom side where there is an option to share the link of the meeting. This function makes it easy to share the links

And changing layouts can be considered good feature when the number of people sharing idea is high

Cons

The least about google meet is there UI When screen shared and view from others people side the corner of the screen make the screen appear smaller, whereas in other meeting platforms the screen ratio is complete. In google meet the screen size appears smaller due to rounded corners

Pros

My favourite feature of the Google meet is the screen recording which allows you to go back and play the session, should you need a particular information.

Cons

I love everything about the Google meet software.

Pros

It's 100 percent free and it's easy to use. You can set up appointments and it makes sure to send you reminders before hand. Has calling and messaging as well. Pretty much has everything you need to get the team together online for meetings training etc anytime anywhere.

Cons

There was nothing I disliked about this software

Pros

Ease of use and accessibility. Along with how well it works with Google Suite products.

Cons

That you cannot chat with individuals only with whole group. Also, they do not have built in polls. You need to have extensions.
