Google is reportedly replacing Duo with Meet for video calling

Sources have told 9to5Google that Google Meet is seen as the better option that's the video calling app that is usually aimed at business users.

As you might have missed if you don't work for Google, the business-focused G Suite and Google's consumer communication apps Messages, Duo, and the Android phone app are now managed by one team, headed up by exec Javier Soltero.

That's a reasonable enough position Google could get by just fine with only one video calling app but it does raise the question of how the transition away from Duo is going to be handled.

In recent months, as many of us have been stuck at home making video calls, Google has added more and more features to the Duo experience.

Zoom has of course been the big winner when it comes to capitalizing on the boom in video calling, and everyone else including Google is scrambling to keep up the pace.

While it doesn't appear that Google Duo will be shuttered anytime soon, it does seem as though Google Meet is the future.
