Installing the app

Google Duo is available for both Android and iOS users, but it is not available for your PC.

Make a video call

It’s simple. All you have to do is tap on the “Video Call” button and call someone you want. After that all your recent contacts will just show up as bubbles so you’re one tap away from calling anyone.

The specialty here is the “Knock Knock” feature which allows you to see what the person who’s calling you has to show. You will see a live video from them even before answering.

That’s about it when it comes to using Google Duo. There are some settings that you can tweak inside the settings as well. Check it out if you want more control over the little things like disabling “Knock Knock”.
