That's the disheartening part. Most hadn't used Hangouts before, one person suggested it due to social distancing, ~1hr into Hangouts call as we're struggling to add another member I introduce Jitsi and paste a link into the group chat. Used for ~15 minutes, then dropped and the manual invite process for hangouts began again - organizer couldn't find the option to generate a sharable link to a Hangouts call (it does exist).

"I don't like it, it's weird."

To be fair, it is sort "busy" in regards to the UI and the stuff surrounding the screen.

Hangouts is comparatively less daunting.
