Besides providing convenience to video calls without hang-ups, a new feature that allows you to instantly swap from a normal voice to a Google Meet video call with just one touch, is there for Pixel phones these days. Thus the round trip tail is cut and one does not have to switch over to a different app to be able to show a visual side as well as see the person on the flip side.

This new feature digitally appears as the “Video call” badge, which is an additional button within the existing voice call interface on the Google Phone app. It only requires the tap of a button to transfer that call into a Google Meet video call for the other person; the voice call remains functional meanwhile. Otherwise, Meet will ask you to invite the recipient to the application if they do not have Meet so that they will have no problem transitioning to new conversations.

Though at the moment it is used by a few people, its wider availability is anticipated before long. So the observation is that it seems most probably the server-side change and it is not related to a specific app version. With having a new feature on the chip that is more approachable to switch to video calls otherwise than to select the video call option when contact selection steps are done. This puts a stop to the previous phenomenon of planning a video and enables meaningful spontaneous conversations with other participants.

The one-touch video call feature which is made available the Pixel phones by default gives a higher flexibility and accessibility that aids in the reach-out efforts, especially in this era. It dramatically expedites the use of video tools for real-time communication hence, it makes the picture call simpler whenever a communication is necessary.
