I use Duo almost everyday (and so do my friends) and IMO it has the best audio/video quality overall, speciality on sketchy connections.

Glad to see they are still making improvements, but with Google you know that products are simply abandoned from time to time so can't get too attached to it really.

Duo seamlessly handles switching from Wifi to LTE when walking outside my house. Most other services drop the call. Not sure if it's the case anymore but Slack used to lock up completely.

Ditto. I had never heard of Duo until, after limitless frustration with flaky Slack calls (starting twice, not starting, phantom copy of myself in the room, phone keeps ringing after I've answered the call on desktop, etc), a friend suggested we try Duo instead.

I've been blown away. I've never given it access to my phonebook, so I just dial numbers by number, but the video quality is stunning. The latency is so low as to be almost jarring compared to other video services, and usage is simply effortless. Duo Just Works™. I haven't looked into how or why it's so good, but I'd love to learn more....

....and hopefully find an independent system that works the same way so I can keep using it when Google inevitably shitcans this a few months down the road.

Maybe they can teach the Waze team to do this since they're both part of Google. Relevant because in my driveway my phone will still be on my wifi, and when I drive away, Waze becomes unusable for a few minutes.
