Video calling services are helping us keep in touch during the coronavirus pandemic. Google Duo is hoping to help you communicate with more people by now allowing 12 people to join a group call. The app used to allow up to eight people in one call. The server-side change was announced on Twitter by Google's senior director of product & design, Sanaz Ahari. This is a significant feature update that's more useful than ever as we try to connect with our loved ones and co-workers digitally through the COVID-19 crisis.
