From their UI to their branding to their customer services (For cloud at least), google really does seem a bit autistic as a company.
Autistic?
EDIT: Thanks fellow mods. I have a son on the spectrum.
Aside: Imagine you’re driving down the road and you need to make a right turn. Well, for some reason the steering wheel is stowed away and disappeared! You need to hover your hand around the center console in a specific area to be able to expose it. Out comes the steering wheel and now you can make a right turn. Google UX/UI team: Please fucking make the mute/unmute button visible at all times.
Also stop telling me my camera is disabled. Like, I know it is, I disabled it for a reason.
Interesting that this post made it to #1. It seems like Google marketing trick. Anyone who uses the blue realizes that it's far lacking in quality from other offerings and Google Meet UI is very bad also. Zoom, Teams, even WebEx are superior quality and usability wise.
I already have RTX Voice now and it's the best thing ever.

I wish my coworkers would stop using background blur. It sucks and it’s distracting. Your hair and hands pop in and out of blur. Sometimes part of your face will blur. I don’t care if your workspace is messy or your kid walks in the room. I do care that we’re all being distracted by your weirdly blurred hair and hands.

While you're at it, always display a vu-meter. It gives feedback on what is transmitted and thus can alert a user whether they are being heard or not. It's the most basic of sound recording tools, and was a standard part of recording equipment for over half a century for good reason. And if you need minimalism, offer a toggle for that. But I think most people should have it forced on them, would save anyone a lot of…
I did donate a contribution to say thank you.

> However, everything else about Google Meet is great and I wish I could make all my Zoom friends switch. is it _better_ than zoom tho? I my experience, I don't see much of an improvement worth switching.
In my experience, Meet is far far better than the Zoom webclient. And I refuse to install the zoom desktop application.
Zoom is the verb now.

Exactly. Everybody does this. In anything using video, UI elements apparently need to be hidden as much as possible. In virtual meetings, Youtube, and it's often an option in games. And sometimes it's great, because you get to focus on the content, and sometimes it's not, because you lose control. It's something that should be optional or configurable. It's great to have shortcuts for the most common commands (like s…
I don't disagree, but all the video conferencing tools have a shortcut for mute/unmute. Google Meet included (Cmd+D on a Mac).

Isn't this sort of a Fizz Buzz for a UX/UI design professional? I don't mean to demean anyone, but I see this sort of a thing literally everywhere. Hiding important and absolutely crucial information (that can make or break your product) in the name of minimalism. Coming out of a company that has one of the highest hiring bars for software engineering, and yet, their products have such an awful UX/UI. This isn't an e…
"Hiding important and absolutely crucial information" If we want to give awards for this my vote would go to Apple. I find their products to be horrific when it comes to completely undiscoverable features. iOS is bad on its own but the Apple TV is a total train wreck. I couldn't get rid of that thing with its awful interface and remote fast enough.
They mention SIMD support, but It's unclear to me in what capacity the GPU is leveraged. The hair segmentation example on the MediaPipe webpage suggests it's evaluating the graph on the GPU though.
