Not very clear How will Google manage the synchronization of multimedia applications Like YouTube or Spotify among all members of the conference, although we have seen similar services of questionable quality Keep the browser window open in parallel To all those present on the call. probably Google is also creating new rooms in parallel Allow anyone who wants to join with the click of a button.
