Table of contents:
“Don't you have a little more light so you can see yourself well?” Surely the phrase sounds familiar to you from your video calls, whether on WhatsApp, Skype or Google Duo. The difference is that, in the Google app, this problem has come to an end. Those of the search engine have found a formula to increase the brightness of the image that is transmitted without having to turn on any light wherever we are. A function that makes the difference with the rest of the video call applications, although at the moment it is not going to mean its success.
Google has announced that Google Duo is acquiring this new functionality. And it will arrive both on Android and iPhone phones throughout this week So don't hesitate to check Google Play Store to find any available update of this application. In it will come the low light mode. An addition called to change the experience of all those video calls in which you can barely see the interlocutor.
How to use low light mode
The first thing you need to do is make sure you have your Google Duo app updated to the latest version. This is where the function is available. This is represented by the icon of a sun and a moon during video calls Just on the left of the screen, above the rest of the icons such as switching cameras or muting the microphone.
Just press it to activate the solution proposed by Google. It is not about increasing the brightness of the screen to illuminate the user's face, but a software retouching of the image captured by the camera to try to clarify the scene without the image deteriorating too much. So it only changes the image we show to the other person. Of course, we will have control of this function for our own image, not to activate and deactivate that of the other person at our pleasure.
There is another way to activate this low light mode function. It is located directly in the settings of the Google Duo application In this way we can access the application settings and find the section dedicated to this function. By activating it from here, the function will be enabled by default in all our video calls.A convenient way to stop worrying about whether the other people we talk to on Google Duo see us clearly or not.
