Justin Uberti, creator and lead engineer of Google Duo, recently confirmed through Twitter that quite a few updates are set to hit the app. Though his tweet amounted to a simple, “yes,” it looks like Duo for Chrome is set to arrive soon.

Group calls for Duo would be a big step for the app, allowing it to catch up to video calling platforms like Skype in terms of funcionality. Improved audio quality would also be an obvious improvement to any app voice calling platform.
