The application will not even use one’s Google account but, instead, will only be using the user’s phone number to make video calls.

Google has launched its own video chat app to rival FaceTime, Skype and Messenger.
Several months ago during Google I/O, Google took the wraps off an app called Duo. Or, Google could use this tech to make suggestions about who you might want to call based on your history, location, and time of day rather than just displaying recent calls.
The new app, originally announced in May, is being released as a free service for phones running on Google’s Android operating system as well as Apple’s iPhones.
Duo opens with a split-screen view of your front-facing camera and a group of recently dialed contacts – it lets you see what you look like even before you place a call.
That depends on whether you chat often enough through video, and whether you prize simplicity. To ensure privacy and security, all Duo calls are end-to-end encrypted.

YouTube Live features event scheduling, the ability to control who sees broadcasts, and access to recorded events.
This image provided by Google shows its video chatting app on mobile devices. While the app may not have some of the popular features like conference calls, or the ability to superimpose filters on your face, the idea here is to keep things simple.
“Call quality adjusts to changing network conditions to keep you connected-when bandwidth is limited, Duo will gracefully reduce the resolution to keep the call going smoothly”, wrote Uberti.
The existing video conferencing technology Google Hangouts is now being targeted at business meetings.

Google also plans to unveil a similar messaging app, AI-powered Allo, later this summer.
