The past few days are becoming historic because of the steps taken to stop the coronavirus proliferation. Under the alarm condition, all Spanish citizens must stay home, a recommended measure and in any country where the coronavirus is in the process of expansion. This has created the use of video calls.
What were the results? There are many, and as we saw on Google Play, teleworking, education and online shopping applications. Video calls have grown immensely, coming from among the best known applications as Houseparty.
Locked up at home? Excellent requests for video calls
Concerned about the coronavirus, many people have been seen working and living at home. There is nothing better than communicating via video calls.
What effect has this had on our day to day? Well, a lot more than it seems, and the Google Duo developer has confirmed that today will be the best day for video history in history so far.
The most video-driven day in history: WebRTC developer and Google Duo confirm it
The last days in Spain are going crazy, and because of the coronavirus we have been forced to evacuate the house without the need for any emergency. A human being is often a person of personality, and as a result our need to stay in touch has led us to put messages aside and be able to talk directly to video calls, either for communications or for telephone reasons.
Today will be the largest video appointment day in World History. With a long shot.

More growth has been proven by Justin Uberti, a Google engineer working with the Google Stadia team. This developer is known as the inventor of Google Duo, Google's standard Android app for Android. He is also the inventor of WebRTC, which is one of the most open standards for creating video calling services.
Instagram and Messenger are two of the most commonly used applications by WebRTC. WhatsApp has not yet used the standard yet but is thought to use it in the future.
Justin mentioned, based on WebRTC standard usage metrics (he can still publish it but is on) today is the day most used for video calls in the history of mankind. Same developer announced on March 13 that day by day communication at this level increased dramatically, reaching their number on March 16.
Is this text a separate story? Well, chances are no, and that as mass incarceration and telephone operations continue, prices continue to rise and new records are set until the situation stabilizes.
