Google Duo rolls out realtime AV1

Android needs a video calling app built into the OS. I’m tired of calling family and friends on Zoom.

This is literally what Duo is. It's preloaded.

Duo is not built in. However, I installed it and last week I discovered that it automatically integrated with my phone calling app. Now that I call people I can choose video call and it uses Duo for that. (But only if the other person has Duo too)

If they built it in, it wouldn't update as fast. They can't mandate it because of the EU antitrust ruling.

Microsoft got around that by asking European consumers which browsers they wanted: https://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/01/europe.microsoft.web...

Even system apps can be updated through the Playstore though.
