Google Duo to bring group calls to the web

Google Duo's group calls used to be limited to the Android and iOS apps, but an upcoming update will finally bring the feature to the web. The company also plans to expand the number of people that can join calls from 12 to 32. The update will also feature the new layout with the six-person square grid and a scrolling loop of other callers. The app is also getting link sharing, which means you can add people into a conversation via a link as long as they have a Google account. You no longer have to invite every contact ahead of time. 

Google Duo is also getting a new family mode, which adds fun features such as doodling, effects, and masks. It works on group calls and one-on-one conversations, too. And to prevent any accidental disconnections, you can hide the mute and end call buttons while using family mode.
