Android users may soon be able to transfer video calls between devices, according to a new report.
The feature, called Device Groups, would allow users to add devices to a group linked to their Google account and then transfer calls between those devices as needed.
This would be a useful feature for a variety of scenarios. For example, if you're on a video call with your coworkers on your phone and need to move to your laptop, you could simply transfer the call to your laptop instead of having to start a new one.

If Device Groups is implemented successfully, it could be a major game-changer for the way we use Android devices.
It would make it easier to switch between devices without interrupting our conversations, and it would give us more flexibility in how and where we make video calls.
Seamlessly switch between devicesYou could start a video call on your phone and then transfer it to your tablet or laptop if you need to move around. This would be useful for working from home, cooking dinner while on a call with family, or giving a presentation.
Improve call qualityIf you have a better internet connection on one device than another, you could transfer the call to that device to improve the call quality. This would be helpful for video calls with important clients or family members.
Save battery lifeIf you're on a long video call and your phone's battery is running low, you could transfer the call to another device that has more battery life. This would allow you to continue the call without interruption.
