Video call requests They colonize both today and most of the day because of the isolation caused by the coronavirus. The inability to get out of the house allows us to use video on our cell phones to talk to our loved ones and to telephonize with colleagues and management. Therefore, many participants in this market, including Google, are constantly updating their products.
The only thing the Mountain View team has experienced Google Duo, your video calling app cell phones and tablets also have a more sophisticated browser feature. Or at least it was, because since Google announced the progress that will be posted in the coming weeks, and among them we get the arrival of video calls in the browser.
Video calls have up to 32 participants in your browser
Yesterday they knew that all Google's telecommunications services were integrated into one group under the same leader, this way Hangouts, Meet Again Duo to stay with you. However, it is still too early for the decision to impact on today's Google announcement, which, however, leaves the Duo in a very competitive position with market players such as Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp or Jitsi Meet. , among many others.
Among the improvements announced by Google we find, for example, a a new interactive whiteboard that we can use during calls. Similar to another app like the one made in the past, we can now draw pictures during our video calls to be seen by other participants. Ideal for texting, suggesting games, explaining ideas or just letting the little ones in the house play while talking to friends or family.
In addition to this, Google has announced the arrival of a different one effects or face filters during calls, so that nature can be extremely beautiful and informal whenever this is necessary. Legally, they will work in the same way as filtering for apps like Snapchat, Instagram or TikTok, so Google may open up the development of these files to third parties, and that users themselves can give the platform more personality. These two features will be part of what Google has called & # 39; Family Mode & # 39;
But without a doubt, the big news comes in terms of browsers and a large number of participants. A few days ago we knew that Google Duo was increasing its app to 12, but in the coming weeks that number grew to allow 32 participants at least. And we can make video calls from a browser, something that's been difficult to do until now.
The Google Duo will work with this concept like Meet or Hangouts, and we can use a link made from a video call to join us even if we don't have an app, to open a link from the browser you normally use. As we say, this will come in the coming weeks.
