Same thing in Gmail recently. An annoying dialog comes up that tries to get you to use their video call feature, with no cancel or dismiss button.

The modal doesn't go away and I ended up adding it to my blocklist, but in a new browser window, I get it again. Extremely annoying.

My least favorite and most annoying Google nag is the not-so-helpful reminder of which google account I am logged-in as on every google doc I open through out the day. A dismiss click is needed for "You're currently signed in as xxxxx@whatever.com". No disable button. Just suffer.

This is because Google Docs operates similarly to YouTube in that your signed-in user is determined by a per-tab session. Especially for editing content, a workplace-owned Doc with misconfigured permissions might open on your personal on account when you probably want to sign in with your workspace email.
