Like a conference call, only without phones, it’s much harder (though not impossible, depending on how brazen you are) to multi-task, and impossible to go on mute.

Never, ever, to be described as a “meet”.

“Important” ones are often stewarded by a functionary form the COO office who gets to watch the the grisly proceedings.
