For extremely large meetings (a few hundred people), Zoom might still have the edge. I am always surprised how well they handle that. Even if it’s not moderated and anyone is allowed to talk at any time. They have some very good algorithms in regards to video stream routing.

Meet got a lot better in that regard too, however. Before COVID Meet wasn’t really usable for more than a dozen people (IMO). Now it can also easily handle one or two hundred.

And yes, for the quick team meeting or a short chat it’s just so convenient. Share link and go. It remembers the settings from last time and you are ready. The only thing that still confuses the shit out of me is that when more than a specific amount of participants are in the meeting, new members join muted. If I am late to meetings I tend to miss that detail and then need a few seconds to realize that no one hears me. I would probably prefer if it was consistent (you always join muted or you never join muted … or you actively have to decide or something).
