Hangouts Meet is a Google application built for the corporate and education sectors. The world is closed right now and all of the work has shifted to online mediums using the work-from-home strategy. In such crucial times, applications like Hangouts Meet are playing the most useful role. If your job requires you to attend online meetings or presentations, the Hangouts meeting app is going to let you do that.

Several users can join an online meeting session at the same time. The host of the meeting has full control of the environment. Users can share their screens through the app too. Hangouts Meet allows users to talk privately as well. The host can also control the mics and speakers of the attendees. In simple words, this is a video chat application, but it’s not built for private video chat sessions. The app is for online meetings or if you just want to have a video chat session with a group of friends.

Hangouts Meet does not require everyone to have a Google Account. Only the meeting host needs to sign up for the app through their free Google Account. The hosts can share code with others to join a meeting. Others can join the meeting from anywhere using any device for free. There is no other third-party app or a plugin required to run the Hangouts Meet app. It’s a super-fast and easy-to-use application.
