Google Meet is handy for teams when splurging on a full-featured video calling tool isn't an option. Skype, on the flip side, is often used either when it’s the company's default, or the team's been using it forever and just can't be bothered to change. Let's break down Google Meet and Skype.
Skype has been here since 2003. That is 20 years. So how come the call button doesn't work?

Google is good at many things but Google meet sucks
Which group videoconferencing solution doesn't totally suck, apart from MS Teams? With arbitrary participant sharing screen, no problems with headsets, etc. Discord sucks, Telegram sucks, Google Meet sucks, Slack's Huddle sucks
