You can do that in Google Meet. I just checked in an incognito window, the only thing I needed to enter to join a meeting was a name.

I never really understood why people like Zoom's UX, I find it unintuitive and awkward.



Smart update. At the beginning of the pandemic-- the most critical time for Zoom's ramp-up-- Google Meet was only available to Google Workspace users. Their userbase is currently about half of Zoom's, which is a pretty impressive ramp-up. Looks like users have voted with their feet to put it in that position, but that's where intertia does actually make a difference. People aren't constantly evaluating all of their options to see which one works best in case they should switch; they use whatever solution works best when they're evaluating solutions and then stick with that until there's a problem or someone informs them of something better with minimal switching cost.
