Ratings and reviews

Great concept, but poor execution. My main complaint is that whenever I use the app, it disables my Bluetooth headset. Mind you, these are GOOGLE HEADPHONES! Every time I use the app it happens. It depends on the day, but they divert audio every two minutes to every couple hours. And it's not like the headphones are disconnected or that Bluetooth is turned off somehow, it just disables audio output through my headphones. The only way I've found to fix it is to turn Bluetooth off and on again.

I'm fairly biased towards Google, but I do really like their video meeting solution. It had some issues in the beginning (like lack of grid view), but they've addressed this over the past few months. The desktop app is great, but the mobile app could use some work. I don't like the portrait layout, it would be nice to have a full screen video option in portrait similar to Google Duo.

This app is okay, but it sometimes it glitches and its doesn't work offline. I get disconnected from calls often and a lot it says "the meeting hasn't started yet" even though its in the middle of class and I'm trying to get back in from being disconnected. I really like the raise hand feature though. I have horrible ADHD and this feature is something I love to play with by clicking it repeatedly. Honestly, I don't have many complaints because this a great app and it has far more potential.
