I feel like I'm losing my mind - I thought the Google phone app had already had this feature for years. I could have sworn that when I tried to make a call, it offered video as well as audio. And yet it's not there now. Weird.

That's weird. Mine still does. If I click on a favorite, it pulls up their number and options to call or video.

Edit: It may be a pixel only feature going by some other posts in this thread

The Galaxy phone/contacts app literally has Google Duo/Meet/WhateverItsNameIsNow as one of the four main options, for each contact along with call, text, and info.

How can Google not figure this shit out with their endless rebrands and new product launches.

Bizarre. I'm on Pixel 6P, so it can't just be that, unless it's a feature only on later Pixels. So weird! 😀

We have had it for years, in various forms. It lives in Google Messages now 🤷🤦

Ah, so it is. Odd place for it. I wonder when (or even if) it switched.

Very recently. I noticed because there's an orange notification dot trying to get me to install Meet.
