What do you like best about Google Meet?

Google Meet is very easy to use. But Implementation phase we need a Google account, and we can start or join a meeting with one click. It works well on both mobile and desktop. The video and audio quality are good, and it runs smoothly even with a slow internet connection. I also like that it integrates well with Google Calendar, making it easy to schedule and join meetings. The background blur and noise cancellation features are helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Meet?

One thing I don’t like is that some features, like recording meetings, are only available for paid users. Also, there are fewer advanced features compared to Zoom, such as breakout rooms or in-meeting reactions. Sometimes, the connection drops or lags if there are too many participants. It would be great if they improved these features for free users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Google Meet offers a comprehensive set of features, the lack of advanced customization options for meeting layouts can be limiting for larger webinars or presentations.

Enhancing these areas would make Google Meet even more versatile for diverse meeting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Second is that it is very user friendly, hence now it has become like a no-brainer to use meet, a load of features and super simplified.

What do you like best about Google Meet?

é facil de usar, é só entrar no site e começar a usar.É bem intuitiva, mesmo pessoas que não tem conhecimento pode fazer uma videoconferência.

Também é facil de colocar na agenda o compromisso se você tiver uma conta do google.

Não tem custo para usar e dá pra compartilhar a tela. Sempre uso pelo computador e não tive problemas quanto a queda na conexão ou imagem ruim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Meet?

Tem pouca duração para usar em reuniões mais longas, se precisar de mais de 60 minutos não será possivel. Terá que enviar um novo convite e pode ser constragedor dependendo de quem tiver na reunião.

Poderia ter mais imagens de fundo para utilizar, algo mais simples que condizam com a realidade, podem aprimorar para uma IA melhor para gerar imagens de fundo. Outro ponto é que funciona melhor com o google chrome e precisa lembrar dessa opção para melhorar a conexão. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
