Google Meet

5.0 last month New

Comments: This is always my go-to to schedule meetings with everyone!

Pros:

Integration to email which majority of the people I communicate with use gmail making it the best means for communicating with colleagues, employees, partners and almost anyone anywhere with access to gmail.

Cons:

Nothing. They have a 30 minute window per meeting if you are not a business and wanted to host a meeting which honestly is understandable.

Google Duo/ Google Meets

3.0 2 months ago

Comments: It works great just has a few bugs and glitches that google refuses to fix.

Pros:

Free video Calling App that works with email or phone numbers instead of names. Keeps track of calls video or phone calls to repeat numbers.

Cons:

The phone call logs and video calling logs for Google Duo messed up and disappeared when they took over and they (Google) Did nothing about that issue and numerous reports and customer complaints were made about it.

Best video conference partner!

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Google meet makes it very easy for clients to schedule calls with me and us both be sent the invitation details. It is super easy for my clients to get on calls - I have never had a problem with it!

Pros:

I love how it shows your upcoming meeting and you can easily start the meeting when your the host as early as you would like! I appreciate the easy access for my clients where all they have to do is click the link to join! I also love how they don't have to be an invite to join as you can have others hop on too! I also like how you can upload your own background - however the options available are also great!

Cons:

I would like to be able to block out background noise and make it so even invites have to wait in a waiting room.

Talk face to face no matter how far you are with Google Meet.

4.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: Overall google meet is a great way to stay connected with friends, family and business partners even when your far away. It makes the distance seem less far when you can talk face to face.

Pros:

Google meet is a great way to video call with friends and family. It makes connecting easy and is a better option than a normal phone call

Cons:

Sometimes the meet call quality isnt the best even with great service. Im not sure why this happens sometimes but it can be very frustrating.
