Unless you need legible screen dharing of a code editor in my experience. Zoom is awful in many ways but blows Meet out of the water for our needs.

I love meet because of how well it’s integrated with google cal

The killer Slack feature is the ability to draw on the other end's screen. I really wish I had that sometimes in (small) Google Meet meetings, simply to avoid the "it's on your left. Your other left. Okay down 3 items. That was four items. Go up one. No, now you've gone up 2 items…"

Or mid-prod outage trying to get some engineer to type a command to run for you, and they can't dictate from speech to terminal, because they don't know shell/Unix commands at all. Then I can just write the command on their screen, for them to copy character by character… (to some extent, chat solves this. To some extent. I also wish we could get some basic markdown.)

Docs has a few big shortcomings in my experience. Like it can’t number headings and figures, and cross-reference to them.

Is it possible to use Google Meet without telling Google your phone number?

I know that it's possible to use Zoom and Teams anonymously. But for Google Meet, I assume providing a (verified) phone number is required.
