I was getting problems with Google Meet. I am using Debian Buster but I don't think that's the culprit. I am starting Google Meet with the Firefox browser v. 68.0.

I am using Google Meet with another person only, that means a session of two people only. With Google Meet, I am hearing the voice of the other person delayed by two or three seconds. The other person is noticing no delay at all.

Switching to Zoom, there is no such problem.

The other person is using Windows and tells that she wouldn't have any problems with Google Meet with other people. It's only in Google Meet sessions with me.

I've used it with Windows and Linux. Worked fine, but this was about two years ago.

Depends what you want from your video-conferencing software.

Google's 'Meet' and MyCrudSoft's 'Teams' are two of the best known. There's a bunch of others here that might be of some interest to you.....Google's 'Duo' included, though I'm not sure whether you can file/screen-share with this one.

Google's software tends to be optimised to work best with their own browser.....and that is, of course, Chrome. If you're anti-Google I don't know that there's much you can do to work around that.


Mike.

Google has decent help and tech support. That's the first place I would start. Start a chat with Google tech support and see if they can help you with it.

Here's a short update on that. I haven't dug into this because it is simply a tool for me, but here two findings:

Google Meet works perfectly when using Chromium instead of Firefox (on the same laptop). As simply as that.

Then, with Zoom and Firefox I got an audio problem, too, when the Internet connection stalls and my peer enters the meeting again. Then, I couldn't hear him but he could hear me. I needed to end the meeting myself and restart the session. This I could observe a few times.
