> "finicky to get to connect because everyone has to remember their password"

Speaking of that, my last experience with Google Meet in business setting was this: every other meeting someone from our team would disappear in the middle of a call and reappear a minute later. Reason? Google's bullshit random "you need to re-verify yourself and type in your password NOW NOW NOW!" prompt that logs you out until you comply. Since us developers only used our company GSuite accounts for Meet calls (all communication unfortunately went through Slack), the only time we'd get this prompt would be a few minutes into the call.

Can someone from the gaia team change the default cookie validity period down by 20 minutes (ie. from 30 days to 29 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes) to resolve this issue?

As silly as it sounds, it would probably resolve this issue perfectly. As I remember, I always got the login prompt at roughly the exact same time into the meeting, suggesting it's just set to expire after a certain amount of whole days.

Google internally is well aware of this, and in fact one internal tool most engineers use actually has an expiry a few hours short of 24h simply to prevent exactly this issue.

But it's not fixed because....?

I'd suggest changing it by a 12 hour delta. Then you are likely to start encountering it at the beginning of your day instead of in the middle of anything.

Pretty sure the time between reauthentications is configured by your G Suite admin, so you should ask them
