Google Duo rolls out realtime AV1
Being stuck at home and working 100% through Teams, I have to say, if Google wants to have a long-term strategy here, being more like teams and less like Apple or Facebook would be better.<p>Chat + Forums + Fileshare + Video chat + Voice chat + OneDrive integration + Sharepoint integration + Kanban + goodness knows what else<p>Before the lock-down we all turned our nose up at it as "yet another lame chat app", now it's dominating everything, and it works on MacOS, Windows, iPhone, and Android -- so there's no excuse for anybody to not have it on their phone as well.<p>There's nothing else that's even close for us and just on my team we have about 60 people on it, and across the company over a thousand. It's almost 100% replaced all the other things that do the things in the list above with the exception of Jira and a few holdouts still using Webex (so there's a dial-in for people outside our org who don't have teams, but we've even been using for meetings across different organizations that have teams and it works perfectly fine).<p>Duo, Meet, Hangouts all seem really spare and kind of old fashioned now.
