@prdonahue thank you for the report.
Not seeing this on my end using latest Brave build on macOS Sequoia 15.5. Could potentially be due to Graphics Acceleration – can you try disabling this by going to (in Brave) Settings --> System --> Use Graphics Acceleration [...] and toggling this option off? You’ll have to relaunch the browser after changing the setting.

Toggle the setting off and start a Meet call again and let me know if the video quality is improved at all.
