WhatsApp, like Google Duo and Zoom now supports group call
By MYBRANDBOOK
WhatsApp’s latest beta versions of its chat app on Android and iPhone now supports up to eight participants in a group video or voice call, doubling the number of participants from four earlier.
Like other popular video conferencing apps like Zoom and Google Duo, WhatsApp now looks to take on with this new increased limit as businesses and classrooms deal with lockdowns. Up to eight participants can now join a WhatsApp group voice or video call, reports a news source.
WhatsApp is enabling this feature for beta users on both the platforms, and it indicates that the feature should roll out soon on the stable version as well.
The source says that users will have to be on the latest beta versions in order to be able to create a call with up to eight participants. If it is already updated, the users don't see the feature, as they can also try and back up the chat history and reinstall WhatsApp to get the most updated configurations from the server. The source notes that WhatsApp is gradually rolling it out, and all users should get activation from the server in a few hours.
To place a group call on WhatsApp, user needs to open the group and click on the call button on the top right. If the group has more than eight participants, WhatsApp will ask which contacts user wishes to call; otherwise the call will be directly started. Group participants that aren't saved in address book won't be added in the call.
