Google Meet

What differentiates Google Meet from other similar products?

It is different from apps like microsoft teams is that it is frictionless, you never have to download or install an app. It runs entirely inside a regular web browser, so external guests like clients or vendors can just click a link and instantly jump into a meeting without dealing with software updates, crashes, or account creation walls. On top of that, it is completely into the Google Workspace ecosystem and links are automatically generated the second you create a google calendar invite, and features like real time translated captions or automatic note taking save files straight to your google drive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My absolute favorite thing about Google Meet is just how fast and brainless it is to join a call. With other platforms, you are constantly dealing with that annoying extra step where a pop up forces you to download an app, or you are stuck waiting for a software update to finish while you are already late for a meeting. With Meet, you just click the link in your calendar and you are instantly in the room through your browser. It is a massive lifesaver when you are jumping on a call with a client or someone outside your company, because you know they won't have to troubleshoot any installation or permission issues on their end.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My biggest complaint with Google Meet is that it can feel incredibly stripped down compared to Zoom if you need to manage a larger, more complex meeting. The breakout rooms feel clumsy to set up, and the host controls are pretty basic, meaning you don't get those granular permissions for managing chat, muting people, or co hosting smoothly. Also, because it relies completely on your web browser rather than a dedicated desktop app, it can absolute hog your system's RAM and heat up your laptop, especially if you have twenty webcams open at once or you try to share a high resolution screen.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are thinking about leaning on Google Meet as your main video tool, my biggest advice is to make sure your team is already fully bought into the Google ecosystem because if you already live in Gmail and Google Calendar all day, it is a complete no-brainer that fits into your daily routine seamlessly. However, if you are coming from a heavy Zoom background, you definitely want to manage your expectations around large-scale events since Meet is perfect for standard team syncs, client checkins, and quick huddles, but it really struggles with massive, highly structured webinars.
