> So Google Duo is being rebranded to Google Meet, and the existing Google Meet app is sticking around for a bit. That means there are now two apps called "Google Meet." Google has a help article detailing this extremely confusing situation, calling the two Meet apps "Google Meet (original): The updated Meet app" and "Google Meet: The updated Duo app." The "Google Meet (original)" app will someday be put out to pasture; it's just sticking around while Google rebuilds the meeting functionality on top of Google Duo. Did everyone follow that?
I'm in stitches; dying of laughter over here. Folding together apps to reduce the number of chat apps if probably a good thing, but renaming them to an existing name while the old app is still around? Even Microsoft had the decency to tack on "for business" when they were butchering Skype's branding!
On a more serious note, I'll be interested to see how this affects the business side of things; will Google Workspace keep Meet, and what Meet will it be?
EDIT: Reading through the linked help article, they talk about Google Workspace under the section for the new "Meet" nee Duo and not under the section for "Google Meet (original)", so I guess they have or will transition it. Probably.
