This is great, we've been using Meet a lot since WFH started and it's been pretty solid and decent enough quality. My only gripe and unless I'm missing it, it's not possible to log into Meet on Android without also logging into the Google account on the device too. This is frustrating because sometimes I want to jump on a work call but all I've got is my personal device handy. I really wish they'd separate out Meet App users from Device users like the iOS version of the app :(

And also if you do something bad with your account the whole company can get locked out of their email, since now they are connected. Sending illegal photos to personal accounts of company members looks like a solid DOS attack vector. Google customer support only aggregates the problem.

Can't you do it in a browser? Then just use an incognito window - that's what I do for work emails when out and about.

This doesn't address your comment about device users per se, but you can have multiple accounts on your device and meet will let you choose which one to use when joining calls.

  I'd have probably have had to do this but luckily I have an old phone that I can use for my work account. I just really don't like linking work and personal accounts at a device level given the multiple ways that might cause problems. Thinking on it a little more, I guess that since this product has been generally aimed at businesses, maybe this isn't normally a problem for people with company devices.

    Android has this concept of Work Profiles, where your work account apps are isolated from your personal apps. It works well with Meet and you have a single button to immediately disable all the Work apps (including their notifications). It gives you way better separation than anything on iOS.
