Google Duo - How To Set-up And Use Duo Video Calling App

Google Duo is the new, simple video calling app that brings you face-to-face with all the people that matter most.One of the more appealing aspects of Duo is the fact that it doesn't require a Google account to use it. Instead, Duo uses your phone number which making it easier for you to call/chat with the contacts that are already in your phone.
If someone you don't know is calling you, or a friend is calling from a new phone number, Knock Knock won't work. The same thing happens when you call someone. If your number isn't saved as a contact, Knock Knock is off by default.
With Duo, you can get closer to everyone you love with simple, high-quality video calling on iOS and Android. Google Duo is very easy to use and the set-up is simple. The first time you launch Duo, you're asked to enter your number. Google then sends you a text message containing a code to enter. Once you've verified your number, you're signed up and ready to start using Duo.
