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!

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

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

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.

Pros

Free video Calling App that works with email or phone numbers instead of names. Keeps track of calls video or phone calls to repeat numbers.

Cons

The phone call logs and video calling logs for Google Duo messed up and disappeared when they took over and they (Google) Did nothing about that issue and numerous reports and customer complaints were made about it.

Pros

What I like most about Google Meet is its seamless integration with other Google services, making it incredibly convenient for users who are already familiar with the Google ecosystem. The intuitive interface, comprehensive meeting management features, and accessibility options also contribute to its appeal. Plus, it's reliable and scalable, accommodating both small team meetings and larger conferences with ease.

Cons

One drawback of Google Meet is its limited support for certain advanced features compared to other video conferencing platforms. For example, some users may find the lack of virtual backgrounds or interactive features like polls or whiteboards a bit limiting. Additionally, the quality of video and audio can sometimes fluctuate depending on internet connection stability, although this is a common challenge across all video conferencing platforms.

Pros

its works very smooth and the audio quality is very good it didn't glitch at any moment and its very helpful for scheduling college as well as formal office meet virtually.

Reasons for Switching to Google Meet

Pros

I liked how easy it was to set up and go. I use it mainly on mobile and it's easy to start a new meeting and send the invite to others. Using it on desktop seems to be easier overall to access features. I like how you can record meetings, change the layout screen share, and even connect to your calendar to schedule important meetings for the future.

Cons

The captions feature is nice to have but the few times I've tried to use it, i found it wasn't always accurate. This isn't a super important feature for our needs but I could see this being an issue for some other users.

Pros

The meeting scheduling part on meet and easy to access all the functionalities

Cons

Nothing to dislike on the meet everything is fine

Pros

Integration to email which majority of the people I communicate with use gmail making it the best means for communicating with colleagues, employees, partners and almost anyone anywhere with access to gmail.

Cons

Nothing. They have a 30 minute window per meeting if you are not a business and wanted to host a meeting which honestly is understandable.

Pros

It's for all the simplicity and reliability that I need out of a video call. It blends so well into my Google Calendar and Gmail, that scheduling a meeting as simple as clicking on Join. By enabling app-experienced screen sharing, and in collaboration with the live caption feature here too, this makes a very clear direction to follow that can increase more productive interaction between developers.

Cons

The video and audio quality is generally good, apart from the network hiccups that due to their nature manages to disrupt most of meetings with multiple participants involved.

Pros

Having my meetings on Google Meet of is the best thing so far because meetings are secure and connecting with my partners who are far from is easy.

Pros

It is a fantastic tool for video conferences with our study groups, family or business groups. From anywhere and in a very simple way in the scheduling of meetings. It is fast, intuitive, friendly and beautiful interface.

Cons

The only thing that the creators of the software can improve, is the loading time of the videos in the presentations, since; in some moments it slows down or loads in a time more than the estimated. Otherwise I haven't had any problems.

Pros

Free to use is probably the best feature. A great tool for international meetings since it is available in almost every country. Easy to use, and has some fun features if you were using it with kids as well.

Cons

A little basic and not very customizable. The connections are not as stable as some of the other online meeting apps.
