However, Google says that all participants will need a Google account. Google Duo Group Call Web features will be available as a preview in Chrome in the coming weeks.

There is also a new feature called Duo called (family mode). In this way, it is possible to draw on the screen in real-time and apply masks or filters during the video chat, similar to the Snapchat style. Duo hides the mute and hangs up keys while in family mode, allowing you to quickly draw on the screen without mute or hang up the call. Family mode becomes active when you log in to Duo with your Google account.
