Duo is the highest quality1 video calling app. It's free, simple and works on Android phones, iPhones, tablets, computers, and smart displays, like the Google Nest Hub Max.
Use Google Chrome to Control Google Home Devices. Google Chrome mimics some of the functionality of the Google Home app, but it's limited. For example, you cannot set up Google Home devices using the Chrome browser, so you still need a mobile device or Android emulator for that.
