I use meet professionally on a daily basis as my company is a GApps for business customer and most people I talked to are pretty satisfied. Sound, connection and video quality is very good, far better than Slack in my opinion. We had meetings with more than 100 paticipants. Integration in Google Calendar is also a big plus.

One pretty minor thing that bothers me is that the webcam and mic mute toggles and the hang up button are blended in and out on moving the mouse cursor during a call. I'd prefer to at least have the option to let the toggles stay onscreen as I tend to use the mute mic toggle a lot during a meeting. Also there is a moment of awkwardness every time a call ends because many participants look for the end call button.

It's a great thing that I can use my Smartphone as a mic during a meeting. Would be great if this could be expanded to my phones' cam as a webcam replacement.

The hiding mute button also really bugs me - given that it something you generally need to have quickly accessible during a meeting, it really should be always visible & on the same spot. BlueJeans has this right - the button is always acesible and not moving around.

As for keyboard shortcuts - unless they are global, they will not work well if they need window focus as that means you still need to find the browser window in which it is running with your cursor and might as well click a button.

On iPad it’s even more frustrating as the buttons only show up on tap and they go away really quickly so if people are joining it pushes the buttons up and you end up missing it. They really need to fix that.

At least they no longer block you from using the website if you’ve disabled camera access.

Could not agree more. Also, the shortcuts to mute audio and video are multiple key combinations and differ across platforms (i.e. using the command button on MacOS and Ctrl on other OSes). Why can't they be a single key, like M to mute/unmute audio and C for the camera? Heck, maybe even use spacebar for mute/unmute since it's that key of a feature?

This handy Chrome extension makes Meet work via a push-to-talk using the spacebar, with many config options https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-meet-push-t...

But why doesn't Meet have these features already...?! ️

The only feature I wish I could have is org-wide call recording.

We are financial startup and since we need to record all calls by law - which means we need to keep our legacy PBX system that is constantly a headache.

[jmole]

you could automate a bot that calls in to every meeting for recording

[koheripbal]

How would the bot trigger for the creation of every single meeting?

Ctrl+d toggles the mic

That's the shortcut I use for bookmarking, get off my lawn.

Skype for business uses Win-F4 to mute. No kidding.

Pro tip: alt+f4 also mutes... ;)

[sixothree]

Right, that's my point. Which makes me think this is really a sick joke by some disgruntled engineer.

Out of all of the 48 major keys each with 16 possible modifier key combinations, how on earth did they settle on the one keystroke within a thumbnail of closing the application.

It's not just rude. It's an F-you to the user.

Wish some hotkeys like m or f in youtube would be universal.

That's something I've noticed as well...

I'm gonna go file a feature request.
