If you can find a copy of the QuickTime 6.5 PLAYER, you can actually launch and use QuickTime Player 6.5 without installing QT 6.5 and it works as smooth as it did with QuickTime 6.5 installed. Something is definitely wrong with QuickTime 7 Player. I tried it myself and a friend of mine also confirmed that even on his old Mac, it fixes the choppiness issues. I've been dealing with this for so long I'm glad I stumbled on this fix because I dread going back to reinstall the older 10.3 though here is the link for reinstalling quicktime 6 for others who cling to their beloved iBooks like me. Maybe it's the fact that QuickTime 7 is now coded with Cocoa instead of Carbon which makes it slightly slower. Quicktime for mac is being weird attractive.

I followed all instructions above, installing Bluestacks, but when it came time to install Duo, the icon just kept spinning (showing time) and finally was 'not responding.' I tried doing everything over again - twice - but with no success. I don't get it.
We use Google apps for lots of things on my MBPro - I even use Chrome rather than Safari. I have to use Duo to 'facetime' with my brother & sister (who use Windows operating system devices), because they stopped using Skype.said Duo was better, clearer, & easier. Anyone who can help, I'd sure appreciate it!! running on macOS High Sierra, ver.10.13.6, and Chrome ver.67.0.3396.99.

And when you hang up or when they call you- you can see their face when you don’t Anwser it’s so cool and I personally love it!!!!

So instead of stepping outside in the rain or freezing weather whenever someone wanted to call me at home, Duo has solved that. Call audio is the clearest I have ever heard on a phone call, like the person is on the other side of your phone talking at your ear. I have strong WiFi so I can’t say how it would perform if WiFi is spotty. I noticed that when you are not on WiFi and take a duo call over your cell service there is a bit of a delay between accepting the call and when the caller can hear you which can lead to some confusion, but still great call quality. Very simple interface, no bells and whistles, just works, and works great.
