Meaning everything else is on the table:

- names of participants, and their ad profiles

- meeting title, time, length

Now you are getting ads for dogfood because your coworker has a new pet.

What if you and everyone replying here get a paid version or just use Google Meet?

I don’t understand why all the negativity comes out when a company decides to stop subsidizing all the engineering, bandwidth, storage, servers, .. costs that goes into a product.

Or ads targeting key messages right before your team meets with a new vendor.
