The video is good? Is that a joke?!

I have weekly Beaver meetings with my daughter using google chat and _every time_ nearly all the feeds are frozen.

Whereas my wife uses Zoom all day to talk to patients, with nary a hitch.

Google chat video is the worst I've ever used.

I've been on google meets all day since march and have never froze. Plenty of huge conference calls, screen sharing. Works great for me. Missing some features of zoom, but the video/audio quality is just as good in my experience.

My experience having US<->Europe<->India comms and 10 guys everyday - video always starts to glitch and then goes to a complete freeze irrelevant whose country the video from. 1 times in 10 someone's audio gets lost completely.
