When to Choose Google Meet
Google Workspace organizations and teams that prioritize simplicity and browser-based meetings
Google Meet delivers the cleanest, most frictionless meeting experience. Gemini AI integration is genuinely useful for note-taking and summaries, and the browser-based approach means zero installation headaches. It lacks some power features, but for Google Workspace users, it's the natural choice.
Strengths
- Gemini AI integration with "Take notes for me" feature and automatic meeting summaries
- Seamless Google Workspace integration — Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Gmail
- No download needed — fully browser-based with excellent mobile apps
- Adaptive audio reduces echo when multiple laptops are in the same room
Limitations
- Fewer advanced features than Zoom or Teams — no built-in whiteboard in meetings
- AI features require Workspace Business Standard or higher plans
- Limited breakout room controls compared to Zoom
