Google. It was good even before the pandemic. We used to video call each other between buildings 100 feet apart instead of walking over.
- mgraczyk 3y agoI worked at Google for 4.5 years. If you are video calling into a meeting from MTV where other people in MTV are in person, you are probably not doing real work. It's not seamless and it's orders of magnitude less productive. Meetings take longer and rarely produce useful follow-ups if you're remote.
- mertd 3y ago> you are probably not doing real work A bit uncalled for but ok... Mind you, I didn't say it was the same as in person. Just many common frictions of video conferencing -back then- were already eliminated. The room knew which video conference to join, noise cancellation was good, screen sharing was trivial...

- mrweasel 3y agoAgreed, people keep trying to push Teams, Zoom, WebEx and others, and everyone complains about how rubbish video meetings are. Google Meet work, and it works well every single time. Not that I enjoyed using Google Chat much, but it did have one awesome feature: Click and the you where having a video meeting/call with the people you where just chatting to. The absolute simplicity of either planning or just setting up a spontaneous meeting using Googles solution is fantastic. I really don't get why more aren't using it.
