Created by Medz Polestico, Modified on Mon, 21 Apr at 2:28 PM by Medz Polestico

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be using Google Meet for all our company meetings moving forward. As we’re already deep within the Google ecosystem, Google Meet offers seamless integration with the tools we already use, and we’re confident that it will improve our meeting experience.


Why Google Meet?


Here are a few reasons why we’ve decided to make the switch:

  • Seamless Integration with Google Workspace: Google Meet works smoothly with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, making scheduling and joining meetings easier than ever.

  • No Extra Software Required: Since Google Meet is browser-based, you don’t need to install anything new. Just click the link in your calendar invite, and you’re ready to go.

  • Collaboration at Its Best: With Google Meet, you can easily collaborate with others using Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides in real time during meetings.

  • Record Your Meetings: You can record your Google Meet sessions, which is perfect for meetings that require follow-up or for those who couldn’t attend. Recordings are automatically saved to Google Drive for easy access.

  • Easier Scheduling: Google Meet’s tight integration with Google Calendar makes it easy to schedule and manage your meetings, with automatic reminders and no conflicting appointments.
