In comparison zoom has an abundance of camera settings to google meet > > Extremely happy, I use daily for all my meetings and I am very satisfied and would recommend for everyone to use ----- ### "Basic with shortcomings. I expected better from Google" — 3.0/5 > **Adam** | *1 September 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrates well with gmail and google calendar. The basics are straightforward to use and I have found it to be reliable. > > **Cons**: One time in an important external meeting it was unclear how to share a document via screenshare. This is a basic essential function and was hidden in a menu somewere. > > We use this for non-Teams or Zoom calls. I am familiar with the other call platforms and by comparison I feel Google's version falls short. It is not as intuititve . If you simply want to talk on video, its fine but everything is hidden in menus that aren't intuitive to use on the fly. ----- ### "Perfect for smaller meetings" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and because it runs from your browser you don't get stuck outside your meeting while the app updates. 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. ----- 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
