Light and very smooth experience. Very simple controls and paired with a Google Workspace subscription you have a lot of controls of things you share within Meet. > > **Cons**: Less participant control for the host as compared to other online meeting applications. Also there is no option for remote control of participant's screen. Works best if you have multiple screens but if you do this is perfect. > > Simply put I love it. It's perfect for quick meetings with my team and clients. Everything happens within the application without a lot of confusing menus. ----- ### "A strong option for google suite users" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 August 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy layout, very intuitive and accessible by most external users. Super easy integration with google calendar so organising meetings is seamless (internal or external) > > **Cons**: in a sense, its strength is its weakness- only a basic chat function and lacks more complex collaboration tools you may want. also the free package is very limited (such as 60 min call limitations) > > Really positive, if you need an accessible virtual meeting tool that integrates with google calendar and google mail effectively, its a very strong option ----- ### "Simple, reliable and easy for everyday meetings" — 5.0/5 > **Portia** | *14 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Meet is simple to use and easy to join from any device. I like how smoothly it connects with Gmail and Google Calendar, making meetings quick to schedule and access. The video and audio quality are usually very good as well. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the connection quality depends heavily on internet speed, and a few advanced features are limited compared to some other meeting platforms unless you have a paid plan. > > Overall, Google Meet has been reliable and convenient for both personal and professional meetings. The interface is clean, easy to navigate and works well for quick video calls, team meetings and online communication. I also like that there is no complicated setup required. ----- ### "A fantastic meeting tool" — 5.0/5 > **Aidan** | *2 March 2026* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free, easy to use and works directly with my Google Calendar. The quality of the calls is always high and suitable for all types of meetings, presentations and guests. There is rarely any bugs or issues that impact the quality of a call. > > **Cons**: The only thing that's a little trickier is managing participants for mid-sized meetings. It would be nice to have some more flexibility and functionality around that. > > A great, intuitive and easy to use platform that's perfect for business owners, clients and customers. ----- ### "Easy to use competitor to Zoom" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *26 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works in browser without the need to install any software or continual prompts to install software. Rooms make it easy to setup meetings in advance > > **Cons**: The auto framing and splits are a bit annoying. Otherwise there isn't much to not to like. Perhaps other people preferring zoom? ----- Page: 1 / 488\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/176572/google-hangouts?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/176572/google-hangouts) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
