Can you provide some reasons other than a seemingly random statement like "run a random executable on my personal computer", that apparently is based on some specific certain personal perception? I'd call Skype anything but random ... at least in comparison with Hangouts. What is your point?
Also you might want to change your title. You talk about not joining meetings with propriety software, then mention Hangouts is okay, which - as you even mention by yourself - is proprietary software.
tl;dr your post is really confusing and I am not sure what you are trying to tell.
- bigiain 7y ago> I'd call Skype anything but random I suspect week ago, people would have said "It's not just 'some random executable', it's _Zoom!_ What're they gonna do, leave an undisclosed web server running on your machine that allows them to remotely install whatever software they want? Ah ha! You're so paranoid!!!"
- numlock86 7y agoAnd how exactly is Hangouts better? I mean I sort of get your argument and what you are trying to tell, but what's your punch line here?
- bigiain 7y agoAt least some people trust Google more than they trust Zoom?

- numlock86 7y agoAnd what about my initial question?

- throwaway83945 7y agoYes, that statement was contradictory and I realize I should stop using Hangouts too. Does that answer your question?
