No. I am using Macs internal mic and speaker since 2009 for mostly Skype calls for that time, but since many others. The only pain is Google Meet, what is unable to eliminate this echo from a team call. Of course using a headset is making Google life easier as two separate channels for in and output. But if you ever used a conf call over a speaker you know it can work without headsets.
OK, I'll let my School District know that they can save a bunch of money on distribution of headsets with mics if they follow your advice. I expect they'll save millions. I wonder why broadcasting companies, school districts, corporations, etc. don't heed your advice? I wonder why I've had this echo problem on conference calls since the 90's using TeamViewer, Skype, GoToMeeting, etc? Our solution then was to use the computer for the video, mute its audio, and use a dial-in phone connection. We use Google Meet for a few non-school classes and our experience is that it works the same way as our other remote class/conferencing apps when it comes to quality of sound. Last year our school district issued thousands of headset with mics to mitigate the echo from built-in speakers and mics on all apps. We do not use Google Meet for online classes.
