Google Meet vs Zoom: What Meeting Program is Better?

Now, I usually don't talk about meeting programs here. But, I was able to try out Google Meet and Zoom! Remember about NetMeeting from my virtual learning blog post? While, I was able to run the Windows XP version in a Windows XP virtual machine (not my real computer), but I could not test it. And here is a Google Meet picture!



















So, to the comparison. Now, the interface of Google Meet looks a lot better! But, the virtual background is not very good. It cuts my hair off! But, when it comes to integration with the operating system, Zoom is better. And the closed captions feature is not the most accurate. 

What I said: This is a test of the Google Meet closed captions.

What it think I said: This isn't Just the Girl Meet closed captions.

But a couple hours after I wrote this, I learned about a new meeting program. Google Duo! Now, Google Duo is more like a phone call except for video than a meeting program. But weirdly, Google Duo is more like Microsoft NetMeeting. In NetMeeting, you can type a person's email to call them, and that is the same for Google Duo. While, that's how I think it works. I can't actually test it! But, you can call people on your network. I tried typing my virtual machine's IP address, and it would tell me I was calling the computer I was using to call. But nobody else in my house has a virtual machine to try calling me. Plus, NetMeeting even has meetings! And the directory is down, so if you want to call somebody else, you need to be on their network. So, for calling people on demand, use Google Duo. For having scheduled meetings, use Google Meet. And for advanced uses, use Zoom. And for the rare occasion that you have to call someone with a Windows XP laptop, use Microsoft NetMeeting.

But, if I could only use 1, I would use Google Meet.

But, you can use any of these for anything!

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...

How to use a TV as a second monitor

  Yes, I know TVs are plug-and-play, but you are not getting the best experience from it. First, open your Display Settings, and drag your TV to the proper place. And then, select your monitor, and then click on Advanced display settings. Now, click on XX.XXXX Hz (where X is the numbers). Now instead of that, you should choose the highest non-interlaced option. And on your TV, turn on Game Mode. Now, exit this menu, and click on XXX% (X is still the numbers). Now, click on all of them until you find the one you want. And then your mouse should work better, your second monitor should be faster, and your second monitor will look better! My TV is to the right of my laptop, it uses 60Hz, and I use 125%.
