We used Meet for a little while at work while looking for alternatives to zoom. The prospect of pouring more of our data into Google's coffers didn't sit well (and anyway audio quality was also sub par).

Two fantastic "indie" alternatives for video conferencing at work:

We’ve also been impressed with Jitsi.

Same.

And it's improving pretty much weekly lately.

And you can host it yourself very very easily.

I'm a _big_ Jitsi fan.

(They've got an experimental P2P E2E encrypted trial running too, which will be pretty cool when it's rolled out across all browsers and mobile...)
