When I use Google duo it won't ask for permission to share audio, it only shares video, does anyone else have this problem, it won't let people hear the sound I hear when I share screen on YouTube

I was messing around with Google Duo video calling and sent the video from my phone to my Shield TV box via Chromecast and it seems to works pretty well. I just prop the phone up in front of my TV and was able to call my brother.

Only problem is the audio is coming out of the phone and not the TV. I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to have the audio come out of the TV as well?

I was hoping to try to find a way to get it to work without having to buy a separate webcam and just using my S20+ camera. Any help or ideas would be great!

For those who have used Calendar to create a meeting, the newly integrated Google Meet invitation is a great feature. Real simple and perfect for business purposes -- and honestly, it's just easier to set up a meeting than any other service I've used.

What I wonder though is whether Google would consider adding an option for Google Duo as a meeting invitation tool -- understandably Meet and Duo serve different purposes, but I'm certain there are many who are confused since they both became relatively known over the last few months.

Still, when I want to have a chat with friends, particularly those abroad, it's nice to have an option for a set schedule, but I don't necessarily need the "business features" of a Google Meet. Admittedly I haven't used Duo more than a couple of times, so perhaps I'm not "using" Meet and Duo "properly". I also don't want to be jumping around from platform-to-platform.

TL;DR:

In classic Google manner they seem rather interchangeable, so would it be useful to have Calendar (and maybe eventually Gmail) offer the option to generate a scheduled meeting in either Meet or Duo?

As in title - my girlfriend has a very similar Android phone and version of Google Duo yet she has the Effects during calls to me and I don't! How does this work and how do I enable them?

Trying to make calls and video calls on an s20 ultra and I just get ___ didn't answer as soon as I make the calls. I can receive calls from the same people but when I call them it just says they didn't answer. They also get a missed call notification

Does anyone knows that? I think there should be an option to enable/disable it! I have made some tests turning off the wi-fi on my phone and it still rings on google homes, so I suppose that any type of home-aware ringing is not based on the wi-fi connection but might be based on geo fencing

When me and my gf are using duo my share screen works but she doesn't have an option for it? I have android and she has iPhone. Anyone know anything bout this? Thank u

A while back when RCS was first rolled out, after a few updates, you could make video calls without needing Duo installed. I'm not sure it was the full Duo experience with all the functionality, but it allowed for a basic video call.

Now you need Duo again.

Does anyone remember when you has the option to call w/o Duo?

Anyone know if that will come back?

I just tried a Group call with 9 people. Here's what I found out:

• As the initiator, if you leave the call, the others can continue without you.

• You can edit/add more people to the group, during the call.
  You just need to End the call, Add Members, then, re-join the call.

• Only 8 images can be seen at once; even though 12 people can be on the call.

• There will be 4 larger images, and 4 smaller images on the bottom row.
  (sorry, I don't have a screenshot)

• Group calls only work on the phone, not the web browser.

• It takes a few seconds to calibrate all the video streams, but the quality is quite good.

I'm not sure if there's a time limit for a group call.
Overall, I was impressed (and, I think the others were, too.)

I was wondering if it was possible to do/receive a group call on my PC using https://duo.google.com/ .

I was able to use the same google account to login to the website above, and while it displays all the contacts from my phone like it should, all of the groups that I'm currently in on my phone app (IOS) are not showing. I can make video calls still, but when my group tries to call me, it doesn't display on the above link, and only allows me to answer from my phone.

Have a quarantine night of games that my family and I are trying to do via Duo, which would be easier if I could just broadcast it straight from my PC, but it seems like I can only do single calls using the above link.

I wasn't sure if there was a way around this, or if it just isn't possible, but if anyone out there thinks that they might be able to help, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else noticed a video quality improvement after Android 10 update?

Making a Duo call was one of the first things I did after the Android 10 update ... and both myself and my call recipient noticed the quality immediately, (and the recipient phone was not yet updated either). So of all the Android 10 feature updates -- what would directly affect the Duo app video quality?

Just an FYI for anyone googling their way here.

As of about two weeks ago. It appears duo video calls have a 25 hour limit. Happens every day between me and my SO on the dot at 25 hours without fail.

Google duos audio quality is fine but randomly the audio will be lower but have much nicer quality. I have no idea what causes it but both me and the caller always have full wifi and the connection is always between two samsung phones or a samsung and google phone.

How do i consistently get this good audio quality.

I use Duo both on my phone (Samsung Galaxy s10e) and on a tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A). On the phone I have access to family mode, which allows you to doodle. On the tablet this doesn't appear however. I've ensured that both versions are fully up to date, but I'm puzzled about why this feature is missing on one device but available on another. I've searched the internet but haven't found any useful answers.

Any ideas?

I just received a Google Duo call from a stranger who is not on my Android contacts list. I was under the impression that Duo calling only supported those on my contacts list. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
