    You mean Hangouts?

    Oh wait no I mean Duo.

    No wait I actually mean Google Meet.

    Honestly don’t give a damn about this because I’m not investing in yet another Google service to he killed off in 3 months to 3 years.

    I feel like I’m losing my mind - I thought the Google phone app had already had this feature for years. I could have sworn that when I tried to make a call, it offered video as well as audio. And yet it’s not there now. Weird.

      That’s weird. Mine still does. If I click on a favorite, it pulls up their number and options to call or video.

      Edit: It may be a pixel only feature going by some other posts in this thread

    Eh, if it’s only on pixel phones, it won’t be used. We need an open standard that can be used for PCs and phones alike. Telegram already has this feature for desktop/mobile/tablet and it works across OSs. Google and Apple need to catch the hell up.
