In a previous post, I wrote that Google Meet worked for me on Chrome and not on Firefox. Now, I work on Linux (Mint 18.3) and most of the world works on Windows. Apparently Google Meet had issues with Chrome, video not appearing, even screen sharing not working, on a Windows machine. Nz let me know the solution, which was based on this thread, https://support.google.com/
That thread has so many descriptions of so many different things which can go wrong! Privacy settings, antivirus, etc etc. If you expand and view the entire thread with nearly 300 messages, it makes interesting reading for people who want to mock Windows.
So, enable-media-foundation-video-capture must be Disabled, otherwise all sorts of weird video issues with Google Meet. This seems to be a windows-only issue.
