Google Duo has seen a number of updates in recent times which have all been geared towards helping users enjoy a better experience with the video conferencing app. Now, Google Duo has incorporated the invite link feature (seen in Zoom and Google Meet) which lets users invite other participants for a video call session by simply sending them a link.
This feature was implemented via a server-side update, meaning that users do not need to download or reinstall any apps. It is presently only available for the mobile app with no news yet when we would see this feature with the Web client.
This feature was first announced by Google in May as part of a larger update. This is Google’s way of making video calls easier to navigate for its users.
To get the invite link, you can create a group in the Google Duo app and the link will appear there. This link can then be shared to participants you wish to invite for the call. If the group has already been created, you can get the link by tapping on the Share icon on top. When a call is underway, clicking on the three-dot menu icon will bring up a Share option too.
This feature is currently only available for Android and iOS devices, however, a report from 9to5Google says that Chromebook users will be able to use the link to launch Duo and join a call if the Android app is available.
Last month, the video conferencing app received an update that allowed users register on Android tablets without phone numbers. It also announced that group video calls will be available for the Web version too.

Google announced earlier in April that its video conferencing tool, Google Meet, will be seeing an in-app noise cancellation feature. This feature will get a live demo thanks to Serge Lachapelle who is the Product Management Director of G Suite.
This feature, also referred to as the “denoiser” feature uses machine learning to suppress background sounds which aren’t similar to speech during calls. Lachapelle also adds that this feature is particularly handy for blocking out disturbances from home appliances (like vacuum cleaners), pets or even children.
This feature is still a work in progress, as it is not yet clear how the sound blocking will be able to separate different vocal ranges from non-human voices. This could mean that certain sounds like a violin played in the background would eventually get cancelled as the AI may detect it as “non-human”. Aside this feature, Google Meet will also get end to end encryption, protecting your calls and data from third party users.
The “denoising” is actually done on Google live servers during calls and sent back to users. This new feature is expected to go live on Google Meet’s Web client later this month, after which the Android and iOS apps will get this feature.
