For our daily standup we use meet.google.com as it's more convenient than ZOOM. ymmv ofc

My company has been trying to find a solution since the Coronavirus hit. (We're not used to working from home)

We were using Slack's built-in conferencing at first, but aside from the quality being generally bad, there was a 15 person limit, and we're ~ 17 people.

I didn't want us to use Zoom with everything that's going on, so I suggested Google Meet. We tried it, and it worked, but not well—people's voices would frequently break up and become hard to hear.

And so we tried Zoom this past Monday.

It was incredible. I could actually hear and see everyone. I'm not happy about all their issues, but damn their product is just really good.

It's hard to argue that a product from targeted-advertising companies like Google and Microsoft wouldn't exhibit much worse privacy concerns, and the other major competitor, Cisco, was the architect of China's great firewall. Zoom works pretty great. I have been on very large conference calls almost daily over a year and they've been pretty flawless. They also sign HIPAA BAAs which is great for the industry I'm in.

That's odd. We haven't had problems with google meet, so we use it. Though we use zoom too, for all hands meetings for whatever reason.

Maybe it's locality to the servers, or just packet loss heavy internet in your neck of the woods. Either way, I get it.
