Is there a valid reason why Google Meet doesn't support 1080p?

    Some possible reasons -

    - More costly data transfer and compression processing

    - Significant user segment with not enough bandwidth to support it

    - Significant user segment with sub-1080 cameras (Most being sold today are 720p or less)

    - Low ROI - it might make sense to solve other problems first with the same engineering resources
