Duo is Google’s latest easiest way of making video calling,
and rather than basing it on your Google account or your email, it’s tied to
your phone number, making it easier for you to chat with the contacts that are
already in your phone. More so, you can invite those who are yet to have it
install on their smartphone.

The app was launched on Google Play and on iOS and the

quickly guide you on how to easily set it up as a first time user.

Google Duo Settings
Go to Google Duo settings by
tapping the three-dot menu in the top-left corner of the app’s main screen and
selecting Settings.
- If you don’t
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 you’re away from Wi-Fi, so if you want full video quality this is
where you can enable it.
