After updating to the latest version (169.0.459621665.duo.android_20220612.16_p6) of Google Meeta handful of users see a tab”Duo is still getting better“Just below the search box, which means launch is still a long way off. The changes are tangible, for example ‘Create a new meeting’ provides a link to meet.google.com with options to copy, ‘Share’ and ‘Join the meeting’. The created meeting appears on the optimized home screen in the new Meetings section, which also lists all the events that are on your Calendar

Before starting a meeting with the new app, google shows a privacy page noting that end-to-end encryption (E2EE) has been deprecated, furthermore Google says that 1:1 calls and group videos started by ringing directly “still use end-to-end encryption end to mask the data with a code that only the user and other callers have access to.” However, the “Meet Meetings in the Duo app”, which can be accessed via links, uses the cloud’s encryption measures.

Meet uses cloud encryption to keep your conversations private. Unlike end-to-end encryption, cloud encryption allows you to use more features such as real-time chat and captions. In addition, your Google Account name and pronouns are shown to others during a conversation, and people previously blocked in Duo can join conversations in Meet.

Google previously said the merger will be closely watched so users don’t fall behind or see a loss of quality, but what’s starting to happen today with Duo getting existing Meet features is Phase 1, and this includes virtual wallpapers, text chats. during the meeting, real-time subtitles and up to 100 (out of 32) participants. In the next step, the Duo app will be renamed to Google Meet and this change will happen later in the year.
