It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity

I just remembered Slack supports sed-like syntax to edit a message. 🤯

For instance: /s/great/amazing/ would replace the word “great” by “amazing” in the last message. 🔥
