This. Meet works better with Chrome, so I used to have chrome for Meet only, and Firefox for everything else.

  It has become better in the last year or so. I used to have the same setup but currently Meet on FF works without issues for me.

    Yes, it's better, but you cannot share a browser tab, only a window or the full desktop. Edit to add that the suggestion of using Orion for everyday browsing and FF or Chrome/EDge for Google Meet is totally reasonable, but somehow I find quite a lot of friction doing that.

  I have chromium on my computer for meet and microsoft teams. The rest I do with firefox.

  I’ve so consistently had issues with Google products on Firefox, that I can’t help but feel it’s intentional. At this point I keep a chromium based browser around as my google apps portal, and nothing else.

    Change your user agent so it looks like chrome, life is better then.

My "favourite" feature about Meet is that it takes me through all these self-satisfied feature announcement popups to explain to me how all these different things work. every. single. call. I use meet as seldom as possible (basically just when a client, partner org etc sets up a call) but it still adds up to at least 2 or 3 a week at minimum. I wasn't interested in those feature popups the first time I'm definitely not interested now after you've been showing them to me 2 or 3 times a week for the last year or so. There doesn't seem any way to make it stop though.

  Careful, someone at Google reading this will green light a new version. Google has gone from talk to hangouts to meet and gotten even more proprietary with each iteration. I’m sure there is someone itching to create yet a new name/version that would have new draconian DRM. Heck, they might even try and bring something like ActiveX back if they knew it would make a users experience worse.
