Firms like Microsoft (Skype), Apple (FaceTime) and Facebook (Messenger) compete with Snapchat rookie, coming ‘stomping’.
and from the next few days, will also have to do with a new commitment of Google, the BBC reports on its website and provides more details contiuación.
the technology company returns to competition in the world of videoconferencing with a new application, which has been called ‘Duo’.
But what will make it different from the others and what already offered through Google Hangouts, his first, and not very successful-attempt?
Google had already announced in May its launch, but said he expected to be available worldwide in the coming days.
Its operation is very simple. to make a video call just have to dial the number you want to access, without registering as a user
And it will be compatible with both mobile Apple IOS as Android phones.
New
according to the giant Internet search, its new offering has several advantages.
One of the main ones is that it will be possible to maintain the call quality, even in areas of low coverage or network changes. Or at least that’s what Google promises.
‘Knock, knock’ option, meanwhile, allow you to see who is calling before deciding whether you want to accept (or reject) the call.
And finally, provides an encryption system call
Everything indicates that the use of the new application will be simple and intuitive
So much so that its use will only make video calls.; no texting, emoticons or contact lists, but to be seen whether that will be a strength or a disadvantage.
In any case, despite its apparent simplicity, if you meet what is expected, Duo promises new features.
But outperform their competitors will not be easy.
fierce competition
since its launch in 2003, Skype was made with the videoconferencing market.
And since Microsoft bought in 2011, began to emerge competitors .
Skype is the queen of video calls, with more than 300 million users and more than 1,000 million downloads, according to the report generated by the company 2015.
Google tried to give the shade with Hangouts, but the play did not go as well as expected.
Now Google indicates that Hangouts was more focused on the professional world, unlike Duo, who wants to become a tool for personal use.
But there is one important against.
If you want to make a video call through a tablet or a computer, it will be impossible to do so by Duo. And here, Apple and Microsoft will win the game. Although not the only ones.
Applications like Snapchat, Tango or Fring and Oovoo also allow video calls from different devices.
And do not forget the announcement made WhastApp just a few days ago. will offer video calls from 2017
the big question is: will Google managed to position itself as a major competitor then
And if so will it be able to make the shadow WhastApp? Time-and videollamadas- they say. (PT)
