How To Install & Use Google Duo On Computer

How to install and use Google Duo on computer. Let's talk about Google Duo again. This time is based on my recent discovery knowing that the official Google app can run on computer -- Windows.

A happy discovery for me. Because I prefer to see the one I chat with via computer. Because I spend my times mostly at my computer. Beside making a video call is better via computer.

Why?

Hmm...Saving our device's battery life is of course the common reason. Because we all know that the video calling activity consumes big battery power. And then the computer screen is bigger so the conversations through face-to-face will be more interesting.

So how about you, are you with me on this? If you do then we can utilize the Android emulator app for Windows. The first name to come on this matter is Bluestacks. However the app doesn't work too well with our computer or laptop's webcam.

But we have an alternative, the same emulator dedicated for computer, namely Nox App Player can do the job to replace Bluestacks.

The emulator works great with our PC's webcam. Some people have used it and recommended it for those who wish to make Google Duo video chat.

If you are here based on the same purpose as any other people who already enjoy their great moments chatting via video on computer then you are invited to follow the whole instructions on this post.
