Google Duo Introduces Screen Sharing Feature for Video Calls & Many More
Welcome to "The Outwrite Podcast". This article is published on www.theoutwrite.com by Varun Singh Rajput.
Google Duo has enabled long-awaited feature “Screen Sharing” for video calls after investing more than 2 years to make it possible and secure. Baris Gultekin, Director of Product Management for Google Assistant shared six major Google features for Android, accessible to even older versions.
Android Police was one of the first one to report this feature back in September. Google tweeted, “Share more moments with your friends on Google Duo. Now you can use screen-sharing to browse photos and videos together, and plan activities all while on a video call.”
In the recent product updates released, Google focused on the expansion of Google Assistant adoption. The company shows all the useful ways to incorporate “Hey Google” in your daily life. Baris Gultekin says, “Your Android phone comes with Google Assistant, and now you can ask it to open or search across Android apps. Try saying “Hey Google, send snap with Cartoon Lens” or “Hey Google, log a berry smoothie on MyFitnessPal.” We’ve partnered with many of the top apps on Google Play including Walmart, Mint, Spotify, Etsy, and Discord, to do specific tasks unique to those individual apps. Get started by saying, “Hey Google, show my shortcuts.”
The interesting one is Google’s Phone app which stops the spam calls in a unique manner. If you receive a call from an unknown number which seems suspicious, Google phone can answer by itself and ask who’s calling and why. It’ll save the response so you can check it later and take action accordingly. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
The company also announced Google TV which is replacing Google Play Movies & TV app. So far, it has all the features you can expect from an entertainment platform either showing a compact library or helping you find the content across other streaming apps.
Apart from that Google also integrated two more features. “Sound notifications” in case of hearing loss or while using headphones. Another one is about the “Action Blocks” to make communication easy for people suffering from cognitive disabilities and age-related conditions. The company states, “It acts as an artificial voice for people with cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, autism, aphasia, and other speech-related disabilities. In addition, Action Blocks now incorporates thousands of Picture Communication Symbols from Tobii Dynavox, making it easier to use the Android app alongside existing speech therapy and special education materials. It also now supports Japanese, French, German, and Italian.”
