Vice versa. Companies paid for a gmail + meet bundle that came in cheaper than gmail + zoom.

I've been on hundreds of calls for both and have personally had far more issues with zoom than google. I also prefer Google's UI and security model, and Google's pricing is better for companies using gmail.

Quite the opposite. I used Google Meet a few years back and it was terrible. Not even close to being a Zoom replacement.

But recently we've been holding standups with Google Meet, to give it another try and since it was already bundled with Google Business, and I've been very impressed with the lower latency.

Conversations feel closer to "natural" - I feel like there's less talking over each other.

The UI has become polished.

I was pleasantly surprised.

I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by based on my recent usage. I also like that Google Meet is built for the browser by default—no need or pressure to install a desktop app for calls.
