Telegram adds group video calling option, other features
Washington: Messaging app Telegram has added a group video chat option to its platform.
As per details, voice chats in any group on Telegram can be turned into video calls by tapping the camera icon to turn on device’s video.
The company stated that unlimited number of users can participate in an audio call, but group video calls will be limited to the first 30 people who join a voice chat. Users can also share their screens during a video call.
As per an official announcement, the company plans to increase that limit.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said in January that
The company has 500 million active users, many of whom came to the platform after WhatsApp bungled the introduction of a new privacy policy.
Telegram’s introduction of group video calls lags the competition.
Along with the long-awaited group video calls, Telegram has added several other new features, including improved noise suppression, and animated backgrounds.
