I though WHY? would you call your product that when its already and established brand. I get that its a great name but its been used for years

The Github repo is called "meet". So maybe they named it Meet then thought, "Oh no, Google will sue us, let's choose a different name like... Visio!"

They should really call it Visio Zoom Meet for Teams that Excel.
