My video quality on Google Meet is not good. My video is so laggy/choppy. Is there a fix for this? Or is it just another problem waiting for a fix? Really frustrating when trying to video call people. Almost makes me not want to use it but I'm not sure of a better solution. The phone is the Pixel 9 Pro XL, 15 (AP4A.250105.002), Meet Version 288.0.714755500.duo.android_20250112.12_pO. Any help is appreciated!

Out of curiosity, were you on WiFi, 5G, or 4G? I don't use Meet very frequently (typically use Teams, sometimes Zoom) but someone sent me a Meet link last week and I was pretty impressed with the quality.

I was on a super fast WiFi connection, though.

In my opinion, the Google Duo quality was much much better and crisp. Not sure why every few years Google just dump their apps. I hate the integration with Google Meet. Google meet feels like a corporate meeting app like teams and Zoom. Duo felt more personal to me.

Answering your question, Google meet do require a stable internet connection to give you crisp video quality. I don't have any other suggestion, but as I said not happy with the Google meet quality in general.

Make sure you're using the new meet. I have found that when I'm talking to my wife if I use the new meet with my Gmail rather than my phone number, the calls are much clearer much less lag

It works great for me as long as on a decent connection. A good alternative is facebook messenger.

I used a Pixel 9 Pro XL for a month, Used Google Meet for video calls. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However, during a FaceTime call on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, I noticed a significant improvement in video quality compared to Google Meet on the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
