#GOOGLE DUO FOR MAC OSX UPDATE#

Users who don't own one of the latest Samsung phones or tablets or the eligible Pixel phones will not be able to share their content via Google Duo. It, thus, makes sense for the Android maker to take on Apple with its own offering on at least Samsung devices at the initial stage. Interestingly, Google doesn't have YouTube as a part of the apps being supported by SharePlay.

SharePlay works in the FaceTime app to let you watch movies and shows with your friends on the Apple TV app, listen to your favourite album or playlist on Apple Music, or even send what you are watching through the Apple TV integration. However, it certainly shows that Google and Samsung are trying to copy SharePlay that Apple introduced in iOS 15.1 last year. The list of supported apps for live sharing is not long at this moment.

Samsung's new flagship phones are also getting YouTube previews support in Messages to deliver an upgraded experience. The development was announced by Google as a part of the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event. The feature will debut on the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series where users will be able to watch videos and view an online whiteboard together. Google and Samsung are on a move to take on Apple's SharePlay feature by introducing live sharing to the video-calling app Google Duo.
