Google Meet... does it not make video calls like all the other apps? (self.google)

When I try to use Google Meet to call my wife, daughter, mom, whatever, it always wants me to send an email to them to schedule a meeting. They all have gmail accounts, and that's what I am trying to call them with.

Is Meet supposed to be an alternative to Zoom? As far as I know, you can't just call someone on Zoom and their computer/phone rings (like MS Teams).

Does Meet not place on-demand calls (like WhatsApp), or am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, Duo went away. So google meet is really not meant for phone calls then. What a shame.
