Why Roam over Google Meet?
Why Roam over Google Meet?
- More Than Just Video Calls
- Google Meet focuses on basic video conferencing. Roam provides a complete HQ environment with live presence, drop-ins, and cultural tools.
- Better Connection
- Bespoke Design that looks like and represents your brand, with guest flows that show off your company logo, instead of an ad for Google.
- Roam has AInbox, built-in fully-featured Group Chat and company-wide messaging platform. GChat is basic and falls short of the standards for operating your business via chat.
- Developer Platform and API for automations, AI bots, and integrating 3rd party services through Zapier and webhooks.
- Roam keeps your team connected through the live map, faster conversations, and shared presence. Google Meet lacks this depth.
- Faster, Smarter Meetings
- Average meeting times in Roam are just 8 minutes, thanks to drop-in functionality. Google Meet? A static, 30-minute calendar block.
- Stronger Culture.
- With tools like the Virtual Shelf, Stories, and the HQ map, Roam fosters connection across distributed teams.
- A Hero for Hybrid Teams
- Hybrid and remote teams thrive with live office tags and a full HQ visualization. Google Meet doesn’t even try.
- Roam integrates seamlessly with Google Calendar and delivers a superior experience with non-Google tools.
- Works on all platforms with snappy, slick native apps for Mac, Windows, and iOS, Android, Chromebook–even Linux.
