Video Call On Google Duo, Thanks Google Assistant
Using Google Assistant on your phone, you can now say “video call contact name“. The Assistant will then reply, saying it’s making a video call on Duo. It is worth noting that you should have Google Duo installed on your smartphone else Google Assistant will rely on Hangouts to perform the necessary action.
Furthermore, if you and the person you’re calling both have a carrier video-call feature, the call will automatically use the carrier’s video service. If you don’t find an option to do this don’t panic as this new feature is still rolling out and everyone can soon access this.
