The chief usability of this feature is that you lot exercise not take to get to the problem of calling the people if you desire to just convey a short message.

If you lot're non seeing the voice/ video bulletin choice, a lot of Redditors suggest that you first need to telephone call the recipient to see the change announced in the pop-up menu.

Y'all but demand to be running the latest version of Google Duo to exist able to use this feature.
