I don’t understand why zoom is so much more popular than Google meet. I never used zoom before my current company who uses Google meets for daily meetings and then zoom meeting for the biweekly review. No idea what advantages zoom is supposed to have.

I think Zoom just had a better sales team and went after corporate clients earlier. Now that no one is in the office, it seems silly, because Meet is just straight up a nicer experience on all fronts, but in the Old Days, no one ever got fired for putting Zoom hardware in a conference room.

It seems like the popularity of Zoom is related to the singularity of the product's purpose. Zoom is a video conferencing service. Google is everything and the kitchen sink. So when the pandemic started, that worked in Zoom's favor, sadly.

Thick clients perform better than Google Meet in the browser in my experience.
