I was wondering why there is no Google duo on chromebooks? I saw that there is a Google meet but not duo. I'm just curious.

There are a few potential reasons why Google Duo is not available on Chromebooks. One possible reason is that Duo relies on a phone number for verification, and Chromebooks do not have support for phone numbers. Another possibility is that Google has not yet optimized Duo for Chromebooks. Additionally, it's worth noting that Chromebooks have limited app support in general, so it's possible that Google has not made Duo available on Chromebooks because there is not enough demand for it.

Google Duo is a video calling app that is designed to be simple and reliable. It works on iPhones, Android phones, and Chromebooks. Chromebooks are laptops that run on the Chrome operating system.

Google Duo is not available on Chromebooks because it does not support the WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) standard that is required for video calling. WebRTC is a browser-based technology that is used for real-time communication, such as video calls.

Chromebooks use the Android version of Google Duo, which does not support WebRTC. This means that users cannot make video calls on Chromebooks.

There are a few alternatives to Google Duo that work on Chromebooks. One option is Skype, which supports WebRTC. Another option is Hangouts, which is also made by Google.
