Ask HN: Why doesn't zoom and Google Meet “ring” the other party?
Ask HN: Why doesn't zoom and Google Meet “ring” the other party?

Remember the old days of calendar invites and the location was just a phone number? And it would say "Party A to call Party B" so you knew at 10am wait for a call and Party B would either call right on time or be a little late but when Party B started "the call" it would RING and they would hear a ringing sound, and they could let it ring over and over until it went to voicemail knowing Party A should have been hearing the rings. Vs. today I show up right on time to a zoom or google meet and wait. And wait. And many times the other party flakes. But I never get that satisfaction of 10 rings and that feeling of they are being notified of this call right now. Yes I could txt them or email but that's so awkward. It's like getting stood up for a date. You have to play it cool and just wait for them to notice they missed the meet.
