I just today switched to Google Chat from Teams and find it severely lacking. I don’t see a way to call or screenshare with another person/group unless I generate a Meet url and paste it in the chat? Is it meant to be that way or our admin has not enabled something?
- jacquesm 6y agoMeet links are all over the place in what until-recently-was-called-Gsuite, for instance, in the calendar and in the chat (the little camera icon). Usability could be better, that's a fact, but it worked flawless for me over the last 8 months or so and if people are used to MS/whereby/zoom/whatever then we typically get comments halfway into an interview day that the video hasn't crashed yet, that the audio still doesn't lag by 5 minutes and that nobody has been booted out for no particular reason yet. That's how used people are to these glitches. I'm not a big fan of Google, but the video meeting software (and the little pc that you can buy with a dedicated setup including super good echo cancellation) is at the moment best of the litter.
- magicalhippo 6y agoIf you can chat with them, you should be able to initiate a call from the chat window (handset symbol top right). Screen sharing is to the left of it. At least that's what I can do, and I'm in multiple orgs.
