The solution enables users to make video calls with up to 30 users per high-definition video meeting. The app allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number. Google Meet integrates with G Suite versions of Google Calendar and Gmail and shows the complete list of participants and scheduled meetings. It shows a "join" button for users to connect to the meeting and provides options to mute and turn off the video during the meeting. Google Meet allows users to dial in phone numbers to access meetings, thus enabling users with slow or no internet connection to call in. However, dial-in numbers are only available to the G Suite enterprise edition customers. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 12079 users.

I love how easy it is to schedule a meeting > > **Cons**: I wish it had stronger translation tools and the quality of videos were stronger. I think Zoom outdo this ----- ### "Google Meet provides a terrific, easy to use video call service that can be free for most" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: For smaller teams, or just one-on-one meetings, Google Meet has more capability than most people need, and works when you need it to. > > **Cons**: Needing to pay in order to get access to things like recordings is unfortunate, but understandable. The free tier is enough for most. > > The rise of COVID and the increase of co-workers working from home made conferencing software vital, and Google did the right kind of integration with the rest of their services to make something that works for most people's needs. ----- ### "MK GMeet Hero for Team Meetings" — 5.0/5 > **Laila Edelyn Villanueva** | *19 March 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity and integration with Google Workspace. It makes meetings easy to join, manage, and collaborate effectively. We used it every day on our clock-in and clock-out, so it is also very helpful when receiving attendance reports after the meeting. > > **Cons**: Sometimes audio or video quality can drop, especially with larger meetings or slower internet connections. It can interrupt the flow of discussions. > > My overall experience with Google Meet has been positive and great. It provides a simple and reliable platform for virtual meetings, with easy access, good audio/video quality, and strong integration with Google Workspace. Features like screen sharing, chat, and recording make meetings more productive. While large meetings can occasionally experience minor technical issues and some advanced controls could be more intuitive, the platform overall supports effective collaboration and helps maintain smooth communication across teams. ----- ### "Easy To Use- Lightweight- Mission Critical" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 March 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Meet is lightweight- easy to use- and user-friendly. We use it every day and couldn't do our work with Google and their suite of products. > > **Cons**: I wish that the "Add Google Meet" button was automatically added on Google Calendar. I wish the "Record With Gemini" would automatically start. ----- ### "Excellent meeting software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maha** | *12 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to choose the various backgrounds and effects. It centres you in the screen and also brightens up your face if you are in a dark room. I don’t always have ideal lighting in my room so that helps. I also appreciate the ease of signing on whether on my laptop or my phone and regardless of a short notice meeting. I also like the screen sharing options and have used it in the past to record my presentations. > > **Cons**: It overheats my laptop unfortunately. I think it might be screen-in-screen feature but I don’t like turning it off. It makes it so conviennent to be working on other tasks when in a meeting while making sure I am keeping on top of what the other attendees are saying/doing. Another thing I don’t like is that not all of the external attachements work in Google Meet and there is no troubleshooting available. I tried using Guul with my friends but it didn’t work. > > I have had an excellent experience. It is and has always been my go to online meeting software. I would definitely recommend\! ----- Page: 1 / 484\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/185290/google-meet?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/185290/google-meet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
