I like how you can integrate Google Meet with Google Drive to save meetings there. > > **Cons**: I would like if there was an option to host meetings with higher video quality. It's not that the video quality is bad as is, it would just be good if there was a feature to save recordings in higher than 1080p for device cameras that support it. > > A good experience overall. It's the primary software I use for video conferencing. Very handy when it's included as part of Google's suite of offerings. ----- ### "Good experience. Easy to use." — 5.0/5 > **Mariana** | *13 August 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very easy to set up and use. There are many background options, filters as well as AI-powered beauty and makeup filters. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features such as meeting recording require a Google Workspace subscription. It also has no direct file sharing inside the meeting, which could be very useful. > > Overall good experience with some useful functionalities such as advanced noise cancellation, which filters out background noises. ----- ### "Great Value" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 July 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free for individuals and can be sued for personal and business needs among others. It has easy to use features like screensharing with or without audio and can be integrated with google calendar which is nice. > > **Cons**: It's good for general meeting purposes but does not have some of the extra perks that industry-specific softwares have. In the education field, for example, there's more resources for sharing documents and typing in math equations or sharing a digital whiteboard. > > Meet is the best, free software on the market for simple meeting needs. It's intuitive and you don't need to give a lot of instructions when sending invites. ----- ### "Google Meet is free so deal with donwside" — 3.0/5 > **Scott** | *8 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it offers plenty of useful features on my phone like screen sharing and mentions, which is very useful for more than two people on a call. > > **Cons**: One thing that throws me off is the video call quality. I want to see everyone clearly instead of blurry. ----- ### "A Highly Reliable, Secure, and Foolproof Virtual Classroom Solution" — 5.0/5 > **SIDHARTH** | *30 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I appreciate most about Google Meet is how user-friendly it is for both teachers and students. Managing large classes is very easy, and the platform doesn't lag during live presentations. It is lightweight, highly secure, and makes online interactive learning completely hassle-free > > **Cons**: It is a bit restrictive that you cannot record lectures natively unless you have a premium enterprise account. Also, managing permissions for external students (those joining without a school domain email) can sometimes be a bit tedious during a live session. > > Overall, my experience with Google Meet has been exceptionally positive. As an educator, it serves as a highly reliable and efficient backbone for virtual classrooms. While it may lack a few advanced student-engagement tools out of the box, its seamless connection with Google Workspace, rock-solid security, and foolproof ease of use completely outweigh the minor drawbacks. It makes distance learning organized, accessible, and smooth for both teachers and students alike ----- Page: 1 / 488\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/176572/google-hangouts?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/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
