There are plenty of video-calling apps to choose from, but Google Duo might be the simplest. It works with the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, and even on the web in a browser. We’ll show you how it works in the latter.

Using Google Duo on the web is straightforward. All you have to do is sign in with the same credentials (including the phone number) you used to create your Duo account. You don’t have to download any apps.

First, go to duo.google.com in a web browser, like Chrome.

After you sign in, you’ll be asked to verify your phone number. Make sure the number shown matches the one on your account, and then click “Next.”

Google will send a text message to your phone with a verification code. Type that number to confirm your account. Click “Resend SMS” or “Call Me” if you don’t receive the message.

Depending on which browser you’re using, Google Duo might request permission to send notifications about incoming calls. Click “Got It” if you see this message and want to opt in.
