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 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. ----- ### "Great online meeting tool" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *17 November 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works well for me, and is my go to for all my online meetings. The camera generally works well and the ability to share my screen, along with the chat function, which I use most regularly. > > **Cons**: Sometime the camera doesnt work and it has required me to restart my PC to get it working. I would also like to record the meeting which isnt possible. > > Generally very good, had many online meetings and cant really fault it. Have also used Zoom and find Google Meet more user friendly. ----- ### "The Effortless and Reliable Video Conferencing Standard" — 5.0/5 > **Simeon** | *6 September 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software provides Me with a high-quality video calling experience making it my favorite choice for doing business. I like how i can instantly start or join a meeting directly from Gmail or with one click from a Calendar event. This deep integration makes scheduling and joining meetings a natural part of the workflow. > > **Cons**: Compared to rivals like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, Meet's offering is more utilitarian. Its background effects and filters are less advanced, and it lacks features like immersive views or avatars. It's focused on productivity, not play. > > Google Meet excels through simplicity and reliability. It doesn't try to be everything to everyone. Instead, it focuses on doing the core job of video conferencing exceptionally well. Its strength lies in removing friction from the process of joining and having a stable call. ----- ### "the new Gemini ai integration in meet are next level." — 5.0/5 > **Harish** | *24 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: google meet is great platform to do best online meetings in just few clicks. new gemini ai integration in google meet its enhace user experience and convenience. audio and video quality are more enhance using new ai, and new ai voice translate features are very amazing and great. > > **Cons**: the only cons is google meet sometimes auto leave me from meeting when i recieved phone call in my mobile. and some audio quality bugs between large size meetings. > > google meet is superb platform to do webinars and video conference with our team and client it is best for it and very good. ----- Page: 1 / 484\ 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
