On WhatsApp, it was reported that she is considering increasing the number of members in her group videos and voice calls. After this, Google has also announced that its platform Google Duo is going to take similar steps. While WhatsApp is thinking of increasing the number of users for video and voice calls from four to eight, Google has not revealed anything about the number yet. Right now Google Duo supports up to 12 members, so it will be ahead of WhatsApp in terms of group calling. Google is working on a plan to do this in the coming weeks.
Video calling platform usage increased in Corona crisis
The reason behind this step is due to the increase in the use of video calling due to this epidemic of Corona. Like other video calling platforms, the use of Google's Duo is also increasing as more and more people are staying in their homes due to Corona virus. Google has also shared some data. Now people are making up to eight times more group calls on Duo. Apart from this, now more than 10 million new users are being added to this service every week.
The company is working on updating Duo's video codec technology to the new AV1 video codec to make the Google Duo more accessible in developing markets such as India, given the Corona virus, which improves video quality, and at a much lower bandwidth connection Only the quality of the video should be better. It will be launched in the coming weeks.
