Google Duo How to Set up and Use Duo Video Calling App
Google Duo How to Set up and Use Duo Video Calling App
Google Duo is the new, simple video calling app that brings you face-to-face with all the people that matter most. One of the more appealing aspects of Duo is the fact that it doesnt require a Google account to use it. Instead, Duo uses your phone number which making it easier for you to call/chat with the contacts that are already in your phone.
If someone you dont know is calling you, or a friend is calling from a new phone number, Knock Knock wont work. The same thing happens when you call someone. If your number isnt saved as a contact, Knock Knock is off by default.
With Duo, you can get closer to everyone you love with simple, high-quality video calling on iOS and Android. Google Duo is very easy to use and the set-up is simple. The first time you launch Duo, youre asked to enter your number. Google then sends you a text message containing a code to enter. Once youve verified your number, youre signed up and ready to start using Duo.
To Set-up Duo Video Calling1. Download Google Duo from Google Play Store here or from iTunes Store here2. Open the app you downloaded. 3. Agree to Googles Terms and Conditions for the Duo app. 4. If youre running Android 6.0 or higher, youll have to accept permissions one-by-one at launch:
- Allow Duo to take pictures and video so that the app (and whoever calls you) can see you.
- Allow Duo to record audio so that the app (and whoever calls you) can hear you.
- Allow Duo to access your contacts so that it can see which of your contacts are on Google Duo and who you could invite to the service.
- Allow Duo to send and view text messages so that it can send invites to your contacts and so it can see the verification code youll receive in a few steps.
To Make a Call With Duo1. Simply Tap Video Call. 2. Select the person youd like to call from your contacts or type in the number youd like to reach.4. Duo will call your contact, making your video visible with Knock Knock. 5. To end your call, tap the red phone button in the bottom center of your screen.
Google Duo Settings
Go to Google Duo settings by tapping the three-dot menu in the top-left corner of the apps main screen and selecting Settings.
- If you dont want the people you call to see you before they accept the call, you can slide the toggle for Knock Knock off.
- By default, the setting to limit mobile data usage is on, knocking down the video quality when youre away from Wi-Fi, so if you want full video quality this is where you can enable it.
