'Worse in one big way': Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo says Google Meet has audio issues, Sundar Pichai reacts

Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo recently stated an issue regarding 'Google Meet' audio on X (formerly Twitter). Google CEO Sundar Pichai subsequently turned into a customer support executive and assured Adam that he would look into the matter. It all started when D'Angelo posted that Google Meet is better in many small ways, but worse in one big way, audio quality.

"At Quora we recently tested switching from Zoom to Google Meet for a week. Google Meet is better in many small ways, but worse in one big way: audio quality, particularly background noise cancellation and echoing. That kills it so we are staying on Zoom!," Adam tweeted.

Pichai replied, “Hey Adam, will follow up offline as haven't experienced this, as @reed notes below it works pretty well in my experience, we will debug to understand the root cause and fix. Thanks for flagging.” The Quora CEO responded, “Thank you!! Would love to switch if this is fixed!"
