no no, not a teams meeting, it's a meet meeting. on google meet. it might be called duo for you? i sent you a hangouts to the drive link on messages. no no not your gmail inbox, it's under "all mail", not every email goes to the inbox, haha. or if you're using the classic mode it might be under meetups or promotions. yeah where the chats used to be, before they made google voice an RCS thing. have you got it from google play? no not the green one, the new one with the multicoloured icon. you can only use the green one with legacy members. ok so the problem is you're on workspace for business, it's under google one basic now. did you try quick sharing it? no see you can't use it on a tablet, only a phone or laptop, unless you want the plus features, that only works on phones of course. honestly the easiest way from here is through the docs plugin, unless you wanna family share if you can do vowifi
@lynnesbian just reading this and knowing half the stuff you are talking about ​
@lynnesbian which one is most like Google Talk
@lynnesbian @Seirdy In a nutshell, why it's worth bothering to setup work accounts for mu4e even with gmail.

Global search & new-mail listing isn't a major hassle.
@lynnesbian too real. When I was job hunting recently I carefully tested that teams worked well on my laptop before doing a video call interview. Turns out standard teams users can’t join calls set up by teams for business users in the app. Luckily I got it to sort of work in a browser
@joannaholman @lynnesbian I also usually ended up in the browser when I had to deal with this
@lynnesbian Hmm, sounds to me like Google needs to set up a completely separate team to develop a new chat and video meetings app from scratch, to replace all the others. Though obviously they’ll need to roll it out gradually.
Standards

xkcd
Would be cool if the numbers in that comic would increase over time, maybe everytime I use it somewhere...
@jexner @lynnesbian Ha! Quite. Of course, I was oversimplifying. Based on Google's track record, I bet they already have one team developing a new chat app (which can make video calls) and another team, under a different manager, developing a new video app (with chat functionality), neither of which is compatible with the other or with any existing product
@considermycat some call it "cynicism", others call it "experienced".
@considermycat @jexner @lynnesbian But they will get promoted once they launch.
@lynnesbian it needs it's own "stop doing math" meme.
@lynnesbian Using Google is just so much easier than the alternative, you see

@lynnesbian

This meeting could have been a Ventrilo chat.

@lynnesbian my disdain for living in this version of reality grows by the day...
@lynnesbian google is a good company that makes competent decisions with their software
@lynnesbian Getting seriously panicky reading this!
@lynnesbian idk I just send google meet links on slack
@lynnesbian This is why many of my friends have their own mumble instance. Share the server adress, join, start talking 🫣 It can be sooo simple.
@lynnesbian Nobody envisioned a boring dystopia! 😭
@lynnesbian I'm happy to report that I got lost half way through and ... I'm quite happy about it.

@lynnesbian

This is accurate.

Source: I have a Google meet this afternoon... 😅

@lynnesbian Give it a year or two and it will not be a problem.
@lynnesbian I just left my IT support work for the day and this post makes me want to tear my skin out. Tysm
@lynnesbian no no, it might have been sent as a Google Wave
@lynnesbian By the time you find out which Google communications tool to use, they have most likely discontinued it already.
@lynnesbian most of my friends bailed to Whatsapp or signal, but I have one friend who still uses hangouts or whatever it is called now and I see the notification popup and can never remember the right incantation to find his messages...
