What is Google Meet

Google Meet is Google's video conferencing application that is included in the Google Workspace ( formerly G Suite ) collaborative space in the cloud. This application, formerly called Hangouts Meet, is designed to improve collaboration between teams. This makes its interface very intuitive and easy to use, and it is integrated with all Google applications.

Also, as Google aims to improve on-the-go collaboration between teams, Google Meet can also integrate with Hangouts Meet devices for video conferencing .

Google Meet and Workspace: more than an application for video calls

As we have mentioned, one of the main advantages of Google Meet is that it is part of a space totally created to collaborate, Google Workspace . This contains all the necessary tools for daily work: Google Calendar, Documents, Gmail... In this way, Google Meet is not limited to an application in which to make video calls, but is fully integrated with the rest of the applications (if you want To know more about Workspace we recommend that you read this article ). For example, with Workspace you can:

1. Video calls created from Google Calendar

Video conferences can be created directly from Google Calendar , which makes it much easier to check the availability of other attendees and organize the tasks of the week.

2. Fewer commutes

This is an advantage above all for those companies that are international and/or those that have to visit clients or suppliers on a regular basis. The fact of having a tool that can be used directly from the browser and without the need for a Workspace account makes it the perfect application to communicate with external organizations. Thus, the team will not have to travel on a regular basis and will save money and time.

 

3. More flexibility for employees

In addition, having Workspace and Google Meet opens up a range of possibilities in terms of flexibility for employees. Either to do home office on a regular or occasional basis, or to be able to communicate with the office in case you have to travel. This means an increase in the job satisfaction of your team, which has a direct impact on their performance.
