Ratings and Reviews
Best for the UAE to the UK
I’m based at in Dubai for a few weeks and have been using all kinds of video communication to speak to my family and for work meetings. I wouldn’t normally take the time to leave a review like this but the fact is that Google meet is so much clearer, quicker and simpler to use than FaceTime, WhatsApp video calling and zoom calls… No need to set up a VPN or anything like that… It just works and it’s slick every time… I’m grateful for Google Meet!
I really wanted to use this instead of Zoom!
We have tried all the tyoes of meeting apps, and then realised our church was a GSuite subscriber, so thought, great, we can use Google Meet. We can, but it is a pain, as half our group have ipads, not laptops, and you can’t get a grid view, to help you see everyone. Considering half the group is elderly, that is a problem. We need to see facual expressions and know when to speak or not. Yes it has transcription for those hard of hearing, but it is still not the same as watching everyone and knowing when to chip in with a thought. Everything else about this app is great- but we need to use ipads, as I can set those up quickly and easily for our older members, and they can’t do too much to mess them up, unlike a laptop. If Zoom and Skype (which have other downsides) can work on the ipad/phone platform why can’t the mighty Google?
Better, but frustrating for groups
Still playing catch-up to Zoom, but marked improvements to earlier incarnations.
Main thing I’d like to see changed is addition of a grid view. Why don’t you have this? The school uses Meet, and this is critical for home lessons. Ideally with an option to pin the teachers to the top. Maybe have it so the teacher or meeting organiser can set the default view for their meeting - this I would really like.
Option to have persistent mute/unmute button. I understand the UI choice for the vanishing button (makes it look nicer), but having it disappear is confusing for younger (remote learning) kids and older people, which is not helpful when they want to speak. Should be a setting somewhere that can enable it to be always on screen. Or an “Easy Mode”.
Audio when there’s lots of people on doesn’t work as well as with Zoom or Teams. More “echo-y” and “feedback-y”. Would love to see this tweaked.
And generally, feature parity with the web version. Even things like Question & Answers don’t work don’t work on the iPad version! Makes it very difficult for educators to work with classes when everyone is using a different device. At least have a flag or notification when a tool will not work for all participants!
