Funny how things go - I used Google meets a couple of times this spring and it was awful.

Having used Skype for work for a long time, it caused performance issues for most users who need to present and record a session.
Sometimes just presenting a screen share that causes the issues. We moved to Teams this year and we have had less audio, video or pc problems using Teams.

No issues using Google Meets ;) lol. and our IT dept doesn't want us using Zoom, though my wife and kids use it for all their school stuff (but they have a paid version)
