New video calling app from Google has been released. It does not require any additional configurations, it just works based on the phone number. Quality seems to be very good. Hope it gets integrated with Android ni the future so we could directly video call straight from contacts.
Duo is a one-to-one video calling app for everyone – designed to be simple, reliable and fun so you never miss a moment.
Features:
Simple interface
Pick a loved one and jump right in, with a simple interface that brings video to the forefront.
Knock Knock
See the caller before you pick up with Duo’s live preview feature.
High quality video
Experience faster and more reliable video calls whether you’re on Wi-Fi or on-the-go.
Cross-platform
Video call all your friends across Android and iOS with just one simple app.

Google Duo saying: Unable to send the request. Please check the connection and try again. My mobile network is working fine and Wi-Fi as well. I really don't understand why not working?

"You also allow Duo to periodically send your contacts to Google"
What exactly are they harvesting (name and numbers or everything in your Google contacts)?????

Also, how is call qualify compared to facetime? What about data usage? Any real world experience.. would appreciate some details.

Facetime is Apple priority Software/Hardware right?.
Being a form of 'Cross-Platform' App, it's therefore not restricted to just 1 priority Product/Hardware or whatever?, and in so doing, it therefore makes it a little bit more accessible to everyone. :-)

I know you need a phone number for verification ,
but after verification will it also work on WiFi Tablet,
if not what will work on WiFi and is not Facebook Skype, Line ,
I want to use it as a security camera and maybe a front dor "video doorbell"
thanks

Try We Chat then?, that's free video too, via either Telephone Number, OR We Chat I.D. :-)
I would have suggested Tango to you, but that's mainly via Telephone Number only ...

cold. not a deal. should be moved to misc.
no idea why they didn't build this into the hangouts app which already does vid calls. and the idea of being able to see the caller before picking up is so dumb. I don't want the person im calling to know ive got my moobs out.

That feature is called 'Knock Knock', you can easily turn it off in the settings.

Used it today. My dad had a poor connection so hangouts had no video and voice was choppy. Duo had video (although was pixelated maybe 10% of the time) and audio with no drops. I only used Hangouts for video so have already uninstalled it.
