> It's fine, not great

Exactly what we've found with our GSuite and Google Meet. Works fine with 8-12 people on a call. Useable by technically adept people, but we've had to talk clients through the interface sometimes. (From today- client: "How do I share my screen" me: "click the [share screen] text in the bottom right" client: "Oh, yeah. Of course.")

(If you want background replacement enough, OBS and VirtualCam lets you do it... I did it for a gag the other week to put myself inside a Russian nuclear powerplant control room for standup. It's not something I'd recommend telling anybody who's then gonna ask you to help them set it up though...)

I don't understand this though. I use both Google Meet and Zoom. On both platforms there are people who don't know how to use basic features labeled by buttons with descriptive text, and I don't even blame them because in a meeting when everyone's listening to you it's easy to have "brain farts" like this. On Zoom there's even the additional issue of "joining computer audio" even. I think this has more to do with people's personalities (perhaps triggering a form of stage fright) than the software.
