Sorry, but Zoom is a much better application. (And further, new encryption is coming on new Zoom software May 29; though unless you are keeping company secrets or sensitive political strategy, it really isn't very important. If you're just having cocktail hour with friends or talking to grandma, who cares about security.)

Honestly, had a Google Meeting session on Friday and it was awful in every way.
