Duo is their future replacement and works fine on the desktop.
- int_19h 7y agoDuo is about video calling specifically, no? Hangouts is a generic IM client. I'm on Google Fi, and one major feature of Fi is that it lets you receive texts and calls to your phone number on your desktop, and access voicemail there. But it's all done via Hangouts now, and Google has been very vague on what the replacement is going to be going forward.
- techntoke 7y agoThey have reverted back to Google Voice for this and I'm pretty sure it'll be the replacement.
- int_19h 7y agoWhen I open voice.google.com, as soon as I login, it immediately redirects me to the Google Fi account page. Which does not have any of this functionality.
- techntoke 7y agoWorks fine for me. Also if you look at the GV Android app it has gotten a lot of recent updates compared to Hangouts, including Dark Mode. Additionally they have added the option to text from it which has newer features than Hangouts.
- summerlight 7y agoI believe Google wants to release Hangouts Chat to general consumers and replace Classic Hangouts.
