Google Duo as a simple alternative for the deprecated Google Hangouts video calls?
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/18
Now that Google Hangouts on a PC keeps nagging that it will be replaced with Google Chat, and the main use case for my mentally retarded brother is video calls from behind his PC, I am going to investigate if Google Duo is any better (he loses mobile phones, which means no WhatsApp; Google Meet is to difficult for his mental abilities).
Some links to get me started:
