Google Duo will evolve Google Meet
Google won’t eliminate Google Duo, but what it will do is convert a Google Duo and Google Meet then remove the current Google Meet app. And that makes a lot of sense, since Google Duo is installed on more than 5 billion devices
over the next few weeks Google Duo will receive all functions of Google Meet, such as scheduling meetings or being able to join a video call with a link. When Google Duo already offers all the features of Google Meet, that’s when Google will rename the Duo app to Meetwhich is much more precise.

With this change, Google Meet will now also be the video calling app that will be standard on most devices, although it’s already out of the box on all devices thanks to its integration with Gmail.
