Google’s video chat merger begins: Now there are two “Google Meet” apps
> So Google Duo is being rebranded to Google Meet, and the existing Google Meet app is sticking around for a bit. That means there are now two apps called "Google Meet." Google has a help article detailing this extremely confusing situation, calling the two Meet apps "Google Meet (original): The updated Meet app" and "Google Meet: The updated Duo app." The "Google Meet (original)" app will someday be put out to pasture; it's just sticking around while Google rebuilds the meeting functionality on top of Google Duo. Did everyone follow that?<p>I'm in stitches; <i>dying</i> of laughter over here. Folding together apps to reduce the number of chat apps if probably a good thing, but renaming them to an <i>existing</i> name <i>while the old app is still around</i>? Even Microsoft had the decency to tack on "for business" when they were butchering Skype's branding!<p>On a more serious note, I'll be interested to see how this affects the business side of things; will Google Workspace keep Meet, and what Meet will it be?<p>EDIT: Reading through the linked help article, they talk about Google Workspace under the section for the <i>new</i> "Meet" nee Duo and not under the section for "Google Meet (original)", so I guess they have or will transition it. Probably.
