No one ever struggles to join which is a big win. It’s pretty reliable too, video/audio quality is solid most of the time. Screen sharing is simple and does what you need without messing around. > > **Cons**: Feels a bit basic compared to other platforms. Backgrounds and customisation aren’t great, and managing participants can be a bit clunky if you’ve got a bigger meeting. > > Dependable and easy to use which is probably the main thing. Good for everyday meetings, just lacks a few of the nicer features you get elsewhere. ----- ### "Best software for meet up" — 4.0/5 > **Jake** | *17 September 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Meet is friendly and secure, thanks to encryption and host controls. It’s perfectly integrated with Google Workspace, so you can move easily from the other tools into it. > > **Cons**: There are two main downsides: first, the lack of smoothness when someone joins from outside Google, and second is screen sharing troubles. > > Google Meet is the solution if you work with Google ecosystem. From Gmail or Google Calendar, you can jump into a Meet during an event or with a contact. ----- ### "Easy to use, almost no set-up if you're already a Google Workspace user." — 5.0/5 > **Erin** | *1 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I always use Google Meet for my business - I like that it's super easy to set up, invite others and record meetings. It's native to your Google Workspace so makes it easy to have a meetings software without having to go and research others to use. > > **Cons**: This is an interesting one which I'm yet to fully figure out why -- I attend meetings for other businesses who use Slack (Huddles) and Zoom, and my camera quality is fine - however, on Google Meet my camera appears slightly grainy. I have updated in Settings to ensure the video is the highest quality setting but it doesn't get it as good as the quality on Zoom for example... > > Google Meet provides a seamless meetings experience where you don't need to use other systems if you're already using Google Workspace (Gmail etc) it's built in. ----- ### "Google Meets is Great" — 5.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *16 February 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google meets is quite simple to use. I like the features and capabilities that it has. I prefer it over the other competitors. > > **Cons**: I don't really have any qualms on it aside from sometimes the latest updates get implemented and I at times prefer the previous views. > > I enjoy using google meets. It's solely what our company uses. It's also simple for user to jump in if they are not within our company. ----- Page: 1 / 484\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/176572/google-hangouts?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
