The platform also offers AI-powered audio enhancements including background noise cancellation and audio synchronization, helping users maintain professional communication even in noisy or shared environments. Integrated Google Workspace functionality allows users to schedule meetings through Google Calendar, collaborate with attachments and agendas, and connect directly with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides for streamlined workflows. Premium features such as speaker spotlight, meeting recordings, transcripts, and extended meeting durations provide organizations with advanced communication tools for training sessions, webinars, and team collaboration. Businesses can also host large-scale meetings with support for up to 1,000 participants while maintaining stable and reliable performance across global locations.

    Adequate free solution

    Date: Aug 17 2021
    Summary

    Google Meet can certainly work in a pinch and is probably the best bet for an organization that does limited video conferencing. However, if you're on multiple video meetings a day, you're likely going to want to use Zoom or another paid solution.

    Positive

    I love how easily integrated this is with the rest of GSuite -- we use GMail, GCal, etc. and the way they work together is wonderful.

    Negative

    Unfortunately the video and sound quality are simply not as smooth as Zoom, to the point that it can be distracting.
