Whenever something that used to work fine suddenly inexplicably breaks here or changes and is made obviously worse for no discernible reason, the following exchange inevitably occurs… “What the heck happened? This was just working last week! Where’s the… ugh! Where did the button for this go?” “It got Product Managed.” Google Meets and Slack are repeat offenders.

Has meet actually had any significant downtime?

  Availability isn’t the property of Google Meet that’s troublesome. Itinerant, schizophrenic UI is more its jam.

    For me, call quality on Meet is absolutely the worst compared w/ Zoom and Teams

      The post was saying Slack and Meet are repeat offenders in terms of breaking users expectations or their workflows due to a change-heavy approach to product management, not that they break in the sense of going offline.
