Video calling can be a lot more funnier than ever, as Google is all set to unite the iOS & Android users with its one-on-one video calling app- DUO...learn more about the app with Techugo
2. GOOGLE - DUO
Duo was announced at Google I/O in May and rolls out globally today on Android and iOS 9 in 78
languages.
Duo lets you have1-on-1 video call people via your phone number.
3. USP
Duo works with Android devices instead of just Apple products.
Duo can be a challenge to Facebook Messenger and Skype’s video call features.
You can open it, with no need for a Google account, and see the camera facing you. Below is a list of
recent calls and frequent contacts, with another tab with a full list of contacts who have or don’t have
Duo.
Once you start the call, it goes full-screen, and if someone misses a call, they’ll get a notification.
4. Knock-Knock Feature
The one innovative feature Duo sports is called Knock-Knock.
This lets the recipient of a call see the caller before they accept and turn on their own camera.
It helps you as a recipient of the call to get a preview of your caller.
5. A Best Option For Developing World
The developing world has only recently gotten the phones and network connections necessary for video
calling. The top chat app there, Facebook’s WhatsApp, still doesn’t have video calling though it’s in the
works.
Duo’s best feature is the optimization of poor network connections like 2G.
Duo can degrade video quality or switch to audio calling if there’s weak connectivity, and it can
seamlessly hand-off between cell and wi-fi connection in mid-call without dropping.
6. Challenges
Duo looks a bit bland, though, since it can’t do group calling, video effects, or any text chat.
If you want to video call someone without Duo, you’ll have to invite them over SMS with an app
download link.
With Duo and Allo (and Google Chat, Android SMS, and Spaces) for consumers, RCS messaging services
for carriers, and Hangouts for the enterprise, Google is still a bit chaotic when it comes to communication.
