Google Duo challenges Whatsapp, will now be able to make video calls with 32 people at once
This year, due to the coronavirus epidemic, people are turning to virtual communications. Given this, many video calling apps have increased their capacity, so that more and more users can connect together. In this sequence, Whatsapp has also increased its video calling feature, increasing the limit from 4 users to 8 users. Now, the limits have also been increased to 32 in the Google Duo video calling app. That is, through this app, video calling can be done with 32 people. Google has currently rolled out this feature for Android users.
Earlier, the company had increased the limit of its video calling app to 12. Now, it has been extended again. Apart from this, Google has also integrated its Meet video calling app with Gmail. So that users do not have to go to a new web page separately for video conferencing. This feature of Google Duo is currently rolled out for limited users. Soon it can be rolled out for all users. Google is informing its Duo users via pop-up message that their video calling limit has been increased.
If you are also Google Duo users and you have not received this message, then you may have to wait a bit. The company is rolling out phase wise. This feature has been rolled out for Android smartphones as well as Google's smart display Nest Hub. Facebook-owned instant messaging app Whatsapp is going to get challenged after the upgrade to this video calling feature of Google Duo. Also, other video calling apps can also be challenged by this.
