Google Meet, Duo hosted over 1 trillion minutes of video calls
As video calling became
the norm in the pandemic-hit year, Google Duo and Google Meet hosted
over one trillion minutes of video calls globally -- equal to more than 18
billion hour-long virtual workouts in a single year.
The company said that with your Gmail account, Meet calls are
unlimited through March 31, 2021 so that families can enjoy holiday traditions
without interruptions.
In 2020, Google added a Meet
tab in Gmail so that with one tap, people can jump from an email to a video
call.
"We also brought Meet to Nest Hub Max and Chromecast to help
people get up, move around, and have hands-free calls at home," said Dave
Citron, Director of Product Management, Google Duo &
Google Meet.
"Google Meet and Google Duo were built
with an emphasis on privacy and security, to keep your calls and meetings safe
and your information private".
The Google app crossed 100 million users daily and its daily user
numbers "had a peak of 235 million" in the third quarter of this
year, according to the BBC.
