Does anyone know of a way to stream/cast video and desktop audio through Google Meet that actually works?
All of the official methods (present tab, cast tab / whatever to a Meet, etc) produce distorted and choppy audio which is unusable.
This is verified on multiple systems, both hardwired and Wi-Fi, with far more than adequate memory, video hardware, and bandwidth. Colleagues have found the same thing on their end as well.
1) Test to see if it's a scaling problem by starting with 2 machines. Does it work OK?
2) Fast hardware cannot over come slow OS. Try running machines with a low latency kernel like Ubuntu Studio.

Engineering solutions require proper testing and analysis. There's no way around that.
