I do not use Google Meet, but do those buttons at least now stay visible and not only appear if you know where to mouse over? Very relevant comment from a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24965293

Uhh so apparently, Microsoft Teams copied that same pattern of auto-hiding the most important controls.

Teams has updated their UI, it's always shown on the top right of calls now, so at least they realised their mistake.

Still disappears for me. And when it appears it makes sure to obscure the video/content/subtitles so that I am frantically trying to make it go away.
