It looks like yesterday, but it's been four years since Google introduced us to the Google Duo video calling app. From the start The Duo has proven to be very simple, without the need for user accounts. To talk to someone, you just need to have your telephone number.
Over time, that simplicity of the Google Duo became more sophisticated, the ability to link a Google account (and your email) to a single account and use it on multiple devices at the same time. The next thing to come would be to choose from prevented you from being added using your email, pending privacy settings.
More Duo privacy
If you want to connect with someone in the Duo, you need to have them on your contact list in the app. Google Duo is synchronized with your mobile contacts, so that the phone numbers registered in the app appear. In some cases, contacts are not connected to a phone number, however email address.
When you sign in with a Google Account on Google Duo, this email is linked to a Duo account, so that you can other people can contact you from your email. This can be quite an attack, especially if you're open for Knock Knock, so watch someone else's video before you leave.
Fortunately, as revealed Jane Manchun, the solution would be on the way. Currently the Google Duo doesn't have all the settings and options, but there is an opportunity to come to decide if you want to that they can contact you from your email. If you use it, it stays the same today. Besides, only those with your phone number will be able to contact you.
As always, it's impossible to predict when this option will be used, which can take weeks to months. In the meantime, if you care about contacting the email address linked to your account, the only way to do it unlock your Google account. You can continue this process from Settings, even though you can't use your account on other devices or use it in Google Home.
