Google has brought good news! You can make audio and video calls in the Gmail app on iOS and Android

New Delhi. Over the years, Google has been determined to spread its users to as many communication platforms as possible. Hangouts, Allo, Duo, Google Plus – The company could not compromise on any one app, service or website. But Google has also made it clear in recent months that we don’t want to jump between half a dozen apps just to talk to each other. That’s why Google has brought some fun features to its users. Google is now rolling out audio and video calls to Google Chat in the Gmail app on iOS and Android.

Make audio and video calls from the Gmail app
As of this week, you can enjoy one-on-one meetings and audio calls from Google Chat in the Gmail app. For now, it’s only available for one-on-one chat, so if you want to do group communication, it’s not possible right now. But if you want to initiate an audio or video call, it is very simple. Simply open one-on-one chat and tap on the phone icon or the video icon in the top right corner.

If you want to join someone else’s call, you’ll see an option to do so in your one-on-one chat with them. Once you start or join a call, you’ll see a banner at the top of the screen with the name of the person you’re talking to. Also, here you will also see the duration of the call. You’ll also see a Meet icon in the chat roster.

Also, if you miss a call, you’ll see a red phone or video icon next to the caller’s name. It’s a simple addition, but let’s turn the Gmail app into a one-stop-shop for all your Google Chat needs.
