I just checked what my pixel 6 has installed. I have something called "Duo", which, when I click it, shows me something called "Meet". Is it different from the other "meet" on my phone? Seems to be but not sure.

Google's communication services are so complex and poorly defined I avoid them like the plague, always have. I just don't understand what app to use and how they all relate.

Yes. There's Meet, and then there's Meet (original), which is what was formerly called Hangouts... I think.

Doesn't matter, I always hit the wrong icon 50% of the time.

Meat, Wangouts, Allo, Duo(not duolingo)? Talk, or Chat?

I bet they took the team from Microsoft responsible for ramming the Skype/Lync/Communicator/Skype4Business brands into the ground and brought them over. Remember when Groove used to be Sharepoint but now it's a music player from them?
