On Windows in Chrome, Google Meet will correctly use the same hardware acceleration for video encoding that Skype does. Both will ultimately use DXVA on modern hardware. On macOS, the story is complicated and I know less about Skype's internals.
- chii 3y ago> comparing apples to oranges it is because the laymen simply doesn't know how to account for their own bias. They conceived an experiment to try to show an objective truth, but was in fact biased - and probably didn't even really know it. This is why science isn't done this way; you need to put in a lot of effort to design the experiment, so that preconceived biases don't show up. Things like double blind, and randomization, etc.
