Couldn't agree more. I had worked for Microsoft before where a) there were hardly any special screens for VCs in meeting rooms - mostly you'd connect your laptop and start Skype (for business), or later Teams, b) the typical 5 minutes at the start of the meeting went with "can you hear me?" - "hello?" before things got settled. What a waste.
With Google meet, finally somebody did the _one job_ they needed to solve (low-latency, mostly-working VC over IP) and they solved the user interface + calendar integration. I love it.
It’s funny.. I was at Microsoft recently for some meetings and their rooms were Teams integrated. On at least one occasion we had to revert to Hangouts Meet+HDMI in the room to get external people to join simply because Teams wouldn’t work. The best thing about Meet is the simplicity.
