Meetings can be a real waste of time or a great engine of ideas. It all depends on the attitude of the participants. Of course, if to hold one of these meetings you have to leave your job, move or leave your computer or mobile, productivity can go down the drain. For this reason, Google continues to think of professional users who use their G Suite accounts. That is, your payment service with all the productivity tools available.Creating massive video calls with this service is really simple You only need Hangouts Meet.
From a G Suite account
The first thing to do is ensure that you have a G Suite account with all the possibilities. Google currently offers a trial service for 14 days with which to check what its productivity tools offer. We are talking about access to a professional email account, storage space in the cloud with Google Drive, document creation with Google documents, etc
If we are a company, boss or simply have a G Suite account, we can make massive video calls. And we're not talking about having conversations with 10 or 20 people to convey an important message to the entire workforce of a small company. We are talking about video calls with up to 50 members So the possibilities are greater, as long as you know how to manage such a videoconference.
Inviting callers
From your G Suite account, you only need to create a meeting code. A keyword that allows the rest of the members to access the video call that is going to be made. The good thing is that, being a G Suite user, all this can be interconnected with Google Calendar. In this way they can schedule meetings for any time and create a code for the people called All of this in an organic and simple way.
Once said code has been created or a video meeting has been scheduled, the rest of the work is for the interlocutors. And it is that they must know the password to be able to access their applications of Hangouts Meet to be able to link to the video call Or, do it directly through the computer.No problem as this service is cross platform. It is not necessary for any of them to have a G Suite plan, just the administrator who raises the meeting.
Massive video calls
To date, Google allowed a maximum of 30 people to chat. A figure that already covers a large number of people, covering issues such as SMEs. However, after a recent update, it is now possible to add up to 50 people to the same conversation
Something that implies the need to correctly manage the video meeting so that it does not become a chicken coop. However, the features of Hangouts Meet remain the same. You can cancel the sound or video directly by tapping the microphone and camera buttons.
Of course, it is possible to access the tab of all the members just by displaying their different menus. All this in a simple way, and enjoying the vision of that person who has the floor at that moment. Undoubtedly, a work-oriented tool, where respect and speaking time must be basic to achieve a productive meeting.
The Hangouts Meet app is available for free for both Android and iOS phones. All you need is a Google email account. That is, from Gmail. With this and the meeting code it is now possible to join.
