The solution enables users to make video calls with up to 30 users per high-definition video meeting. The app allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number. Google Meet integrates with G Suite versions of Google Calendar and Gmail and shows the complete list of participants and scheduled meetings. It shows a "join" button for users to connect to the meeting and provides options to mute and turn off the video during the meeting. Google Meet allows users to dial in phone numbers to access meetings, thus enabling users with slow or no internet connection to call in. However, dial-in numbers are only available to the G Suite enterprise edition customers. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 12110 users.

It connects right into Google Calendar so joining meetings is super quick and convenient. It usually runs smoothly without much lag which is nice, and the layout is clean and simple so you don’t have to figure anything out. It's also free, which makes it a great option for everyday calls. > > **Cons**: The mic can be a bit unreliable sometimes, with random connectivity issues that can get annoying (and require headphones). Occasionally you have to restart your computer just to fix it. > > Overall it’s great for something that’s free. I use it every day and hardly ever run into problems.
