News & Reviews:   video conferencing

With how things have changed this year, video calling is probably a trend that won't go away. That's why we're seeing more of such services popping up and developers making great efforts to expand and improve them. Google is doing the same and with Google Duo by adding support for the service to other devices.

Remember Zoom and its infamous 'zoombombing' incidents? The increase in people working from home has pushed more people to use video meeting apps, but it brought a slew of new issues like strangers crashing video meetings. Google has been working hard to ensure its Google Meet platform avoids the same problems and has announced new preventive measures.

The rise in usage of video conferencing software has a great side effect for users overall. As more people use these services, the providers have a greater obligation to improve them. Google Meet is certainly one service that has been improving rapidly in recent weeks and can now be accessed via Gmail.

Now that video calls have become the norm for many people, more companies have begun to beef up the features of their services. For Google Duo, new features were announced about 2 weeks ago, allowing more people to join calls. Now, Google has announced two more updates for Google Duo.

With the rise in popularity of video conferencing apps, companies have been making efforts to promote and improve their services. Google Duo is one of them and it's just seen some new improvements to it that users will appreciate. In the latest update, Google added four new features to the platform to help people stay connected.

Now that many of us are working from home, communication software is seeing an exponential spike in usage. But the popular option now, Zoom, has been getting a lot of backlash for privacy issues. To provide you with alternatives, we introduced eight other similar software last week. Now there's a new alternative through Skype, which has just joined the free video conferencing gang with a new feature called Meet Now.
