Pros
"When you get a meeting invitation, it's very easy to just join and go.""We use Google Hangouts to chat and exchange some quick information.""The solution is stable.""The ability to share a screen during a meeting is one of the most valuable features. You can also be directly connected on the computer and on the phone with the same account. It is flexible.""The most valuable feature of Google Hangouts is its popularity. A lot of people use Google. Since the solution is from Google and many of us use Google solutions regularly, it is easy to use.""The group chat is a very good feature, where you can see all of the participants on cameras.""The most valuable feature has been the ability to present presentations during meetings.""I find it valuable that Google Hangouts is a lightweight tool that doesn't take up a lot of memory and doesn't require a lot of resources."

Cons
"Can be improved by including a larger library of video filters and adding custom filters.""Google Meet could be more secure.""The scalability has room for improvement.""The stability of Google Hangouts could still be improved. How virtual backgrounds are handled also needs improvement.""Google Hangouts has breakout rooms now, but not as extensive as Zoom, so that's one area for improvement. I mentioned that I like the Google Hangouts captioning feature, but that could be improved. For example, importing Filipino-English captions here in the Philippines would be great.""There should be more space for multiple users at a time so that multiple people can connect, can share, and even transfer control to another colleague, employer, student, etc.""The solution can be improved by integrating other tools.""Google will not have two identical chat platforms. Google Chat is always a winner because it is compatible with my device."

"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution.""They do not have phone support.""Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever.""It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
