- Why is the toolbar a different color?
- Why is it oval when the buttons it features are square?

- What does your hottest in-house AI think about ovals?
- Is it easier to see the problem if we go to Dark mode?
- My colleagues wanted to know this one: how dare you?
- Is there a holy war between oval and square devotees and this was the compromise?
- Seriously, you know this is enterprise software, right?
- While we’re here, can you go find your Google Meet colleagues and ask them to differentiate the “raise hand” and “clap emoji” buttons more clearly?
