The tech giant on Thursday announced via a blog post that they have now made the video calling experience smoother than before. With the new initiative, Android phone users will now be able to make video calls directly from where their call or message.

"We want to make it even easier to start a video call from your Android device, so we're making video calling an integrated part of your phone," notes Google. Android users will now be able to start a video call directly from their phone, contacts or even Android applications.

Google further confirmed that, the company in the upcoming months will upgrade an ongoing voice call to video with just a tap. This means that, the Android users will be able to switch from voice to video call without disconnecting the call. "Later this year, we'll also add the ability to upgrade an ongoing voice call to video with just a tap," says Google.

The newly integrated Video calling facility to the will be available for first-generation Pixel, Android One, and Nexus device users for the time being. Google also noted that the new feature will also be available on the newly launched Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL as well. However, Google is also working to being the feature to other Android devices as well. "We're working with our carrier and device partners to bring this experience to more Android devices over time," writes Google.

Google also says that if the both the callers on the video call are a carrier that supports ViLTE video calling; the call will be routed through the carrier's ViLTE (Video over LTE) service. However, if not, the call will be routed via Google Duo. So, for making a video call via Google Duo, the user of the Android phone needs to have the Duo application installed in their phone.
