Using video calls is essential for remote connection. There are currently a variety of options for this; However, before applying, you should consider the rules, rules, usage and purpose that will be given to it. Currently, Google Has two tools for: Duo and Meet.

While each has its own specifics, as some are designed for work and some for personal use, The American company said that these two applications will be combined to create a new one.

We are talking about “Google Meet” And it is expected that this will be the option that consumers have been looking for in their lives.

According to Javier Soltero, head of Google Workspace Gmail addresses and phone numbers are planned to be integrated into this new app. This way, each user decides when they want to connect and when not.

One of the main axes of this project is “availability”. Which Soltero focused on while working at Google. And that is, considering the possibility of starting a video call at any time, you also need to decide when you prefer to stay disconnected.

However, there are still some details that need to be corrected. For example: Every time you make a call on all the devices and browser tabs you are logged in to? Google answered no and assured that Worked to determine which device would receive the message in the event of an incoming call.

Nevertheless, Meet is already integrated into various Google services, so be it Can become a strong competitor to other tools and applicationsSuch as WhatsApp and FaceTime, to name a few.
