CPF Google Meet Discussion Thread

[kcmets]

I'm putting this in the baseball forum because I know some avoid the NBF, etc.

I enjoyed our Zoom meeting some time ago but it's not really in our budget to

open a Zoom account. I learned this morning that Google Meet is free and sup-

posedly just as good.



Anyone have any experience? Do you have to use Chrome? Does it work on Apple?

I'll show you my Google Meat

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I've alredy googled that.



In related news October is National Sausage Month.



I've done a few google video calls one-on-one, all works for me

Looks like it does work on multiple browsers including Safari, so Apple would seem to be good. https://support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473?hl=enhttps://support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473?hl=en



Free version apparently supports up to 100 guests and 60 minutes. If we're going over an hour on a Google Meat™, Fman better be getting tips.

I pay for Zoom to go beyond an hour, if that is an option.

we use google meet at work, as long as you have a google account it shouldn't matter whether you are using Apple, Windows, Android or a Chromebook...

Thanks for helping me and my laziness. The free thing came up on a high school

fb discussion page (40th reunion was to be this weekend) and the popular kids are

trying to set up a few happy hours and such. 'Free' and '250' seemed too good to

be true.



CPF wise, I guess the next question is does anyone have GSuite and willing to use it?

[ashie62]

Do I need to dress?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Sorry that link might have confused issues. GSuite isn't required. Looks like you just need a google account and away we go.



Here's all the good stuff. https://apps.google.com/meet/https://apps.google.com/meet/

I just meant (I think) GSuite subscribers can host a meeting (without time restraints) and

invite anyone with a link.

Right, unintentionally glossed over SMG's post up there.



Let's discuss an October meeting on Zoom if that's ok with SMG?
