Google Meet Review 101

5.0 2 months ago New

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

Wonderfully Consistent

5.0 last week New

Comments: It has overall been positive and most hangups can be quickly rectified.

Pros:

Its integration with the other Google suite (ie, Calendar, mail, drive, etc) makes for a very fluid business experience. The calls are a consistent good quality in both audio and video, and the host has good control of sharing, muting, etc.

Cons:

Sometimes invites to meetings will have issues with the link being invalid or needing specific permissions to access, even when unintended. This can lead to a delay in meetings at times.

Google Meet - Best yet can do better

3.0 last year

Comments: I would give google meet 7/10 in measure of overall quality, for there's nothing more to it that video, audio and screen sharing, while there could be notes, polls, file sharing, sounds etc. that would make a complete solution for an online workspace or meeting place.

Pros:

The ability to set up easily with very few steps into getting a meeting going makes the too one of the best in the market. Sharing of video, audio and sharing of screens are some of the feature that make this system very good.

Cons:

Internet usage the bandwidth requirement for a good quality audio and video is a little high especially for plaes with low internet reception.
