Not only that, but modern Google Meet is significantly more useful to my day-to-day remote conferencing needs than Zoom. Modern Google Meet's advantages:

* It's nearly instantaneous to use. You can just bookmark any prior meeting ID you created and reuse it indefinitely. You just click the meeting on your bookmark toolbar and join the meeting. Creating a new meeting is also nearly effortless.

* Works right in your web browser. It doesn't default to pushing you to use a native executable.

* IMO, the video and audio both are slightly better than Zoom.

Google Meet or Hangouts from years ago was quite bad, but it has improved nicely.
