I've been using Google meet as a remote student for a while (Google made meet available for free for education accounts a while ago already) and it's been a great experience, even with large groups of people online. We tested up to ~80 without any problems.
Just was in a meeting with literally 250 people today, was really impressed how it held up.

#12Reminder: it is impossible to get a Google Account without giving your phone number (and thus permitting access your traditional identity information with it: name, street address, et c) to Google, who can then tie it to any existing Google cookies and your IP.
Demanding that your communications partners dox themselves to Google to talk with you is incredibly rude.

#15Does this give better sound quality? Because the sound quality on meet (Or is it Hangouts?) has been abysmal for the last few years. I also have no idea what meet actually even is these days. Is it just a rebranded hangouts or did they add something and merge Hangouts in?

I just now tried the Google account creation process on an unactivated mobile device, and entering a phone number can be skipped. Entering a birthdate was mandatory.Re: Google Meet premium video meetings–free for everyone
