The problem there is that it makes for a confusing messaging strategy from the company. How does Google think I should do video calls? Hangouts? Hangouts Meet? Duo? And there's probably other options that I've forgotten, and I'm the best case here because I work at Google.
- ghaff 6y agoIs it that confusing these days? (I know it certainly has been in the past.) Maybe it's because I'm an enterprise GSuite user but Meet seems straightforward and is integrated with GCal. Indeed, it's mostly that integration that makes me strongly prefer Meet over our other option.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoI agree, but I feel like Meet, now that it's available to all, will finally "win", especially with it's improvements since the start of the pandemic, and the fact that it's the default in GCal. I mean, (just to show how confusing it is) I sorta thought Hangouts had already become Meet after they made Meet available to consumers. And it doesn't feel like Duo ever had much traction.
