Not all video calling services support Chrome OS. But one that works really well on Chromebooks is Google Duo. We\u2019ll show you how it works.<\/p>\n<p>Google actually has two video calling services: Meet and Duo. Google Meet is geared more toward work-related conference calls, while Duo is intended for personal use. Both work well on Chromebooks, but we\u2019ll be talking about Duo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is Google Meet, and How Can You Use It for Free?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two ways that you can use Google Duo on a Chromebook. First, you can simply use the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/duo.google.com\">duo.google.com<\/a> website in the Chrome browser. This method also works on non-Chromebook computers. The second method is the Duo Android <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>.
