Following Google’s announcement of several feature additions to its video calling platform Duo last week, the company has now started rolling out an update that brings these features. As reported by Android Police, Google Duo version 87 adds support for email addresses, family mode, and new filters.
The latest update lets you use the service with your email address. You can enable the feature from Settings-> Account by switching the ‘Reachable with email address’ toggle.
Family Mode
Family mode is also live on the app now. For the uninitiated, the feature lets participants doodle on video calls, along with several effects and masks. To get started with Family mode, start a video call, press the menu icon, and choose Family. As Google mentioned during its announcement, buttons will be automatically hidden while you’re in the family mode to avoid accidental mutes or hang-ups. Image: Google
