Does Duo send H.264?
As far as I've read about Duo it seems to be AV1: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-duo-lyra-codec-better-... ...though I'm not sure whether they use it consistently.
Keep giving money to a company that uses slave labour. What is the worst that can happen?
That said, yes, the global south produces for west in slave like conditions and it's sad.

They do but who doesn't? Apple isn't different than any other tech companies. That said, yes, the global south produces for west in slave like conditions and it's sad.

Fairphone doesn't. Fairphone goes as far as giving percentage of phone sales to factory workers.
It literally says "Users with non-Apple devices can join using the latest version of Chrome or Edge": does it mean users of Apple devices could join using Firefox?
Unlikely, that'd be a very weird restriction. I think they meant Apple users would just use the FaceTime app
If you didn't want to use the actual app already on such a device.

At a guess, codecs seem the most likely explanation. Firefox has a h.264 decoder, but not an encoder I think.
Why can't firefox invoke the system dll or libraries for H.264 encode/decode? Like many video players do. Why must every browser ship its own codec or even Unicode collection is beyond me.
All this stuff started in the days of Windows XP, which shipped with such a meagre selection of codecs you couldn't even play DVDs.
And the codecs you could download? Either they cost money (i.e. most users wouldn't have them), or they were dodging license costs by some questionable means, or they had bigger aspirations than just providing a mere codec (flash/realplayer/quicktime)
VLC arose out of that and became popular because, by ignoring the system codecs, it could actually play the damn file.

A percentage of phone sales always goes to factory workers in the form of wages...
