Missing from the list of videoconferencing tools: Google Meet. Hands-down the best and most reliable tool we've used because it "just works", and is already included in GSuite so there's no extra subscription to deal with. Probably spend at least one hour per day using it and can't remember having any trouble with it, ever.
The app works even in unrealiable network conditions and somehow doesn't skip a beat when switching between wifi and mobile network.
The only annoyance is not being able to share a single screen on Linux, but that's a Chrome limitation.
- Jonnax 7y agoIs it the same as hangouts? I've only used hangouts and it uses all my CPU destroying battery life and causing loud fans.
- lima 7y agoNo, it's a separate product and has none of these issues. Classic Hangouts is going to be turned off for GSuite customers such that there's exactly one conferencing tool, and one chat tool remaining. Hooray!
- TulliusCicero 7y agoI've also had no problems with Hangouts Meet, but then again I work at Google so it's hard to say how much of that would apply to other companies.
- rauhl 7y agoWE use Google meet a lot at my office. It’s great except for being the only reason I have Chrome installed — at least the last time I tried it simply didn’t work on Firefox. Maybe I should give it another shot.
- kubanczyk 7y agoIt wasn't working on Firefox, but Google fixed it ~9 months ago. Since then, no problems. (Ubuntu 18 LTS)
