I appreciate how user friendly the interface is. Also I like the many features and settings. > > **Cons**: There's really not much to not like about this application. I wish there was just a bit more customization with my user profile. > > My overall experience with Google Meet has been extremely positive. The program is all around really well realized. I feel it's easier to use than other video conferencing applications. I prefer to use Google Meet over any other program of it's kind. ----- ### "Google? Uh-what? Let's Meet\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *04 December 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Meet is easy to navigate as long as you have an existing google account. It is also integrated in most third party applications used for work communications. > > **Cons**: The Leave Meeting button is always mistakenly clicked when exiting from screen sharing. These happened to me multiple times and to my colleagues. > > Overall I can say that using Google Meet is easier than any other meeting options available in the market since this is a Google product known for integrating each product they put out to each other. ----- ### "Bring the meet wherever you are" — 5.0/5 > **Bre** | *25 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy and convenient to have a conversation about work wherever you are. You can plan the meeting in advance and it will notify you via email when it is time to start. > > **Cons**: I can honestly say there isn’t a single thing about Google Meet that I did not like. We have been using Google Meet for years\! ----- ### "Simple, Reliable, and Good Enough for Everyday Meetings" — 3.0/5 > **Wren** | *09 December 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Meet is easy to use, cleanly designed, and simple for anyone to join or host meetings with minimal confusion. The integration with Google Calendar and Drive is convenient, though some background options, participant controls, and file-sharing features feel limited compared to competitors. Occasional audio drops or screen-share glitches show up, but nothing that makes the tool unusable. Overall, it’s a fairly reliable everyday meeting platform that covers the essentials well. Best of all it's freeeee\! > > **Cons**: What I like least is the limited feature set compared to other video platforms. Backgrounds lag or pixelate, participant management tools feel basic, and screen sharing can behave inconsistently. When issues happen, support isn’t very accessible, and troubleshooting falls mostly on the user. It works, but it’s missing some depth and polish that heavier platforms offer. > > Overall, my experience has been mostly positive. It’s reliable enough for daily use, easy for new users, and integrates with the rest of Google Workspace. While it lacks advanced features, it handles standard meetings without much friction. For everyday communication and team check-ins, it works well enough. ----- ### "User Friendly Platform with Satsifactory Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Lledi** | *20 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that Google Meet is straightforward ,no complicated set up ,super convenient and easy to use.Sharing files and collaborating with others is easy.The ability to send link quickly to team to join a meeting and have a video call together is a huge plus .Has the best video call connection compared to my previous experience with Teams .Features like live caption and auto noise cancellation are amazing. > > **Cons**: It is a helpful tool but does not have advanced moderation features that sometimes causes inconvenience > > The tool is more user friendly,has a deep integration with Google ecosystem which makes it easier to schedule and join meetings . ----- Page: 1 / 484\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/121823/google-hangouts?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/121823/google-hangouts) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
