Suddenly every big tech company wants a piece of the zoom pie. I quite like Google hangouts (now meet?), it's simple to use and comes packaged free with g-suit

  The crazy thing is google had like 10 years where the zoom pie could have been theirs for the taking. But they always just let hangouts sit there without trying much of anything in the way of improving it. I swear for a good 3-5 years in the early to mid 2010’s, almost every time I’d try to join a hangout meeting in chrome the audio wouldn’t work and I’d have to restart the browser and try again. And now they’re actually trying? We’re they genuinely surprised to learn there’s a market for corporate video chat?

    They have so much cash they could use to build stuff and push in enterprise but don't. I feel as though they're a little directionless with their strategies. Best product they've created after Gmail has definitely been G suite though.

  We use Meet already for 3-4 years including hardware in the meeting rooms. It is awesome. Zoom got virally popular and had the big grid view which made it popular in these times. However, practically spoken, Meet was always there and was already productive for many years. Hangout != Meet
