I use a variety of collaboration tools, but my regular go-to tool is meet.google.com. Also, since Google upgraded Hangouts to add a phone number option, it's become a possible to use with everyone, regardless of someone's firewall settings.
Hangouts Meet is already available from within Gmail. It's simple to add to a meeting invitation from Gcal or to launch for impromptu meetings from the G-Suite launchpad.
Many large organizations have firewall settings that block this tool. Also, Google definitely is no longer a privacy advocate, so be aware that your call.video is stored on one of their servers for their purposes. Finally, while this is all browser-based on Macs/PCs, it is a resource hog, but not as bad as Webex.

My negatives happen to be that Google hang out sometimes can be distracting especially since we have been teaching virtually and the students will you think they’re paying attention to you on zoom or whatever but they’re not because they are in Google hangouts chatting with each other. This is where I have my negativity comes in because I can’t get them out of the chats and I can’t control the chats like I would like to be able to. I don’t like to be one of those teachers that says no but they need to be focusing on me during class time and not on their Google hangouts.
I have to say I have mixed review about Google hangouts.When I first found out about the Google hangouts I was really excited about it and I introduced her to my students. It was working great they could do projects together after school they could meet each other and chat about some thing they could find out what the homework was things like that also I am it really works during the COVID-19 because they can’t get together and work next week on there but they can chat to each other on the Google hangouts. With all of that sad I am I also like to use it for my colleagues and to reach out real quick and touch base. But I guess I’ll put the negatives in the con box because I do have negatives.

In general, meeting has been the best tool to keep in touch with a remote work team.
I had the opportunity of trying other platforms for meeting and personally I prefer Google Meet because it's easier, responsible, less problems with connection, good filters, good chat, the noise block is perfect and now we have the reactions inside a room. So far the best meeting platforms.
I think it would be amazing to have a notification sound when someone make an arrangement on our calendar. Most of the softwares I use doesn't depend on navigator or connection, we get focused and also distracted by our work activities, and it happens to be notificated 10 minutes before the meeting when we didn't have the opportunity to see it when it was managed.

Google meet is accessible for free as long as you have a google account and can be use to connect with colleagues, teammates or school community for classes or lessons. It runs on a browser and does not require an app. The platform is very easy to use, supports video conferencing, audio calls, text messages and use emojis as well as GIFs. Additionally, Google Meet allows you to share your screen if you're having a presentation and you can invite teammates or colleagues using a link to your meeting. Last but not least, is the ability to host meeting for 60 mins in its free version, which is a very decent amount of time and allows up to 10 in free version.
It has almost everything in one place for a small business or team. Only major drawback is that you can not record meetings in the free version
