Attention, if you are a regular user of WhatsApp and also you cannot live without video calls (either with your friends or work colleagues ) Today we can tell you that you are in luck. Because WhatsApp has finally updated its service to introduce group video calls for everyone. This allows users to talk to up to three people at the same time.
The new functionality is available for both iOS and Android. We're talking about the official versions, so you don't need to upgrade to the beta version if you don't have it.
Group video calls come two years after WhatsApp decided to incorporate video calls between two people into the service. It is a way of communicating that we already know through other services such as Skype or Hangouts, but that can now be used centrally, from WhatsApp itself: the most used messaging application in the world moment.
How group video calls work on WhatsApp
But, what about the feature in WhatsApp? Users who want to communicate with others through this tool can activate it from as follows:
1. Access WhatsApp and start a video call with a person. This can be done from the chat window itself with the chosen user.
2. Once the video call has started, all you have to do is add the participants. Just click on the button Add participant, located at the top right of the screen. Add as many participants as you want, up to a maximum of three (plus one, which is you).
From now on, you can start talking. WhatsApp has warned users, regarding the security of this system, that video calls are also end-to-end encrypted This guarantees the privacy of communications, as well as which is done with text communications.
If you still do not have this function active, it is most likely because you have not updated your WhatsApp to the latest version available. To do this, access the Google Play Store > My applications and games > Updates If you find an update for WhatsApp indicated as pending, simply click on the Update button.
If despite having updated the application, you still have not received group calls, be patient and wait. It should reach you shortly,because it will do so progressively for all users.
