Yea, google has a competitor called chat. As other comments have said it doesn't really stack up with teams/slack, but the video system is pretty good. It works well enough, an has seen consistent improvements over the year. Doubt any company would specifically choose google chat, but I know that many that already have deals for g-suite are using it. The thing is pretty much every company has a contract for office or google chat these days. Hard to imagine paying for slack when you've already got these free apps available.
- dleslie 6y agoThe video is good? Is that a joke?! I have weekly Beaver meetings with my daughter using google chat and _every time_ nearly all the feeds are frozen. Whereas my wife uses Zoom all day to talk to patients, with nary a hitch. Google chat video is the worst I've ever used.
- colinmhayes 6y agoI've been on google meets all day since march and have never froze. Plenty of huge conference calls, screen sharing. Works great for me. Missing some features of zoom, but the video/audio quality is just as good in my experience.
- egor2820 6y agoMy experience having US<->Europe<->India comms and 10 guys everyday - video always starts to glitch and then goes to a complete freeze irrelevant whose country the video from. 1 times in 10 someone's audio gets lost completely.
