Google Merging Video Call Tool Into Phone Dialer

Oct 11, 2017, 1:49 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Google today said it is taking steps to ease the process of making video calls between Android handsets. Starting with Nexus, Pixel, and Android One devices, users will be able to initiate video calls directly from the phone dialer or text messaging app. There are some hitches. Both the caller and the callee will need to be on carrier networks that support ViLTE video calling. If ViLTE is not available, both the caller and callee will need to have the Google Duo video calling app installed. Google says it hopes to bring the merged video/voice call interface to more Android handsets over time, including the second-generation Pixel devices.

The End of Hangouts?

I wonder if this will eventually replace Hangouts?

Yes. They are gradually adding features so in several years it will match what they already have.
