How to share your mobile screen in a video call with Google Duo
Table of contents:
The video call app from the American Mountain View company, Google Duo, has recently been updated with something more than interesting. We are talking about the possibility of sharing the screen of your device with your contacts. It is a new way of interacting better to show you an image, file or different content. It can also be useful to teach the contact some tips or tricks about the device. The option of screen sharing in video calls is now available. Don't know how to do it? We show you below.
Of course, you have to have the Google Duo app installed and updated to version 34, which is the one that receives this new feature. In principle, if we make a video call to share the screen with a contact, they do not need to have the latest version of Duo, although it is recommended that they install it so that it works better. Once the app is updated, we just have to make the video call to a contact and wait for it to pick up. Now, in the interface you will see a new button with the silhouette of a mobile phone and an arrow If we press, a notice will appear telling us that all the content of the screen will be recorded . This includes notifications and downloaded apps. When we accept, the call window will disappear and we will see our screen.
Floating button to control capture
A floating button will appear with two options; Pause the screen or close the screen sharing view If we cancel, we will return to the video call. At the moment, version 34 of Google Duo is only available for Android, therefore only users of the Google version will be able to share their screens. It is likely that it does not work correctly at all, it is the first version and Google will update its app to improve this new feature.
No doubt, it's good news that Google continues to add features to Duo, even though it has a very difficult time standing out in the market Already We know that Allo will not receive new features, as Google has decided to phase out this service that has not worked well.
