It’s time-wasting enough that I’m likely to uninstall the app so I can at least save time on my phone by having a notification there. More to the point, this should have been worked out before release. I’m guessing that the interface tweaks in watchOS 10 somehow messed up the accuracy of button tap detection, but every other app works fine, the button is huge, and no matter where I try to aim it doesn’t seem to help. Instead of making things faster, it’s even slower, because without the prompt on the phone there’s extra steps just to get to the app. There isn’t even a way to get it to ask again at that point, and the Watch app intercepts the notification on the phone, so now I have to get my phone out and manually open the Duo app to get a prompt and complete authentication. As of watchOS 10, when I tap “Accept”, nearly all the time it launches the app and does not accept anything. You can also get codes from it manually for things that don’t use push approvals, and that’s it-like a good Apple Watch app it does only a couple of things, and it does them quickly and efficiently One tap on my wrist for the entire 2FA process is as efficient as it can get. As part of the merger, Google in the past year should have surfaced it more prominently.The Duo Watch app used to be a massive time saver when logging into my work network: A pushed prompt would pop up almost immediately when I wanted to log in, I tapped Accept, and I’m in. While the Google Duo functionality is technically more integrated with voice commands, it’s a bit hidden. That’s presumably going away and will lead many people to think all video calls are no longer supported. The Meet icon in the Nest Hub Max “app” launcher today launches the work meeting experience. I was quite cynical about its effectiveness and the quality of the calls compared to. Rather, the confusion today is born out of a remnant of Google’s pre-unified video calling strategy. I was recently introduced to the Google Duo app by one of my relatives. Arguably, personal 1:1 and group video calls are more popular than work meetings, though Google very much pitched that Meet functionality for the Hub Max. It’s unclear if Google plans to update the Duo branding in this context.įull set-up instructions are available here.įor the Nest Hub Max, it’s good that Google is not getting rid of video calling since that is a big reason the camera exists. Right now, you can say “Hey Google, call on Duo” for audio or “video call on Duo” to the Nest Hub Max and it will connect with “Google Duo” branding appearing in the top-left corner of the UI. Audio calls also work on the regular Nest Hub, as well as the Nest Audio Mini speakers. It’s been a year since the “Google Duo” with its blue icon was updated to Google Meet on Android and iOS. Google Spokespersonĭuo (personal video calling) was supposed to be merged into Meet (work) to form a unified app. Wenn Sie Duo bereits auf einem anderen Gerät mit Ihrem Google-Konto verwenden, melden Sie sich mit demselben Konto an, um die Einrichtung abzuschließen. What’s changing at the end of September is the support for joining meetings via meeting codes and links in Meet. Tippen Sie auf Zustimmen, um Ihr Google-Konto zu verbinden. There is no change to making 1:1 and group video calls to friends, family and businesses with Google Meet. As a result, some underutilized features will no longer be supported. Google shared the following statement this morning:Īs we continue to make Google Assistant even more helpful, we’re prioritizing the features people love and exploring new ways to build generative AI capabilities into their Assistant experience. What’s ending at the end of September is support for taking (work) meetings that are often pre-scheduled and are joined via links or codes. While the Nest Hub Max is losing Google Meet and Zoom support, it will still offer video (and audio) calls via Google Duo.įirst off, you read that right: Google Duo still exists in the context of the Nest Hub Max and that’s not going away.
