Team match at Meta - How to increase your chance of the hiring manager choosing you?

Question

Considering that multiple candidates are under consideration, when speaking to a Hiring Manager during team match at Meta, is there something one can do to maximize their chances of getting picked during the Team Match call? It feels like a lost cause otherwise if you have put in all the effort to clear the interviews, but do not successfully match with a team. Apart from showing the excitement, and being inquisitive during the call, what are some qualities in a candidate that could stand out?

For a Staff Engineer like you, you'll be expected to join a team and be a technical leader. So that's what I'd focus on in your call -- talk about your prior experience and why it's a great fit for the new team.
