This comment caught my eye - because I'm using Chrome too.

Is there a way to enable hardware accelerated codecs in Chrome + Meet?

(I have no idea what that means, I'm just quoting you)

I checked my Chrome settings and "Use hardware acceleration when available" is enabled for what that's worth.

Not sure. There’s extensions that force YouTube to serve h.264 so it seems like something similar should be possible with Meet.
