Use family mode in 1:1 & group calls

Family mode provides a better 1:1 calling experience when young kids are participating. Family mode hides in-call controls to prevent kids from accidentally hanging up or muting the call. This feature isn't available in meetings.

To draw or apply effects with family mode, you need Android 6.0 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.

  2. In the call, at the bottom, tap Show more options .
    Tip: You must be in a live call with video on to find the options.
