To be fair it does perform better than everything else, which is why people are so forgiving of it, but it still doesn't excuse their ineptitude on privacy and security.

In my experience Google's Hangout Meetings have been at least as good or better quality and the interface is far superior in my opinion. For example it works in the browser without any plugins (even in Firefox.)

I haven't used Hangouts on a professional setting in a while. Does it finally support tile view? Another feature I find really valuable is allowing two windows. One for participant view and a separate one for shared screen.

The quality send to suffer when there are a large number of participants.

Which is the reason zoom gets used so much.

Zoom also works in the browser (though they really push you to the app).

I tried Hangouts recently and the quality was terrible compared to Zoom. Discord was far better than Zoom though.

[tbrock]

Really? I think hangouts performs much better. Zoom performs like crap, why no hardware video encoding?

[epanchin]

You need to sign into to google for hangouts though. You don’t need to sign up to attend a zoom meeting.

Yeah. Security and privacy preclude performance. Like ... i dont need a Ferrari with an activated self destruct. ill take the camry, thanks.

[blackoil]

More like all glass Ferrari vs all black Camry. People are choosing Ferrari

[holler]

better to ask forgiveness?
