WhatsApp has already activated the option of group video calls with up to 8 people to all users. Until now, this option was only available to Android users who had the beta of the application. Now, any user can download the new version and start making or receiving video calls with a minimum of 2 members and a maximum of up to 8 We will tell you the methods to make group video calls.
First of all, you need to update the WhatsApp application. The new version, with number 2.20.50, is now available on both iOS and Android We just have to go to the respective app store and in the updates install the latest version. Then, enter the WhatsApp app.
There are different ways to make a group video call on WhatsApp. The simplest is from the calls section. Click on the '+' button that appears in the upper area and click on 'New group call'. Next, select the contacts. Since you will be part of the call, you can only choose a maximum of 7. It is important that all these contacts have the latest version of WhatsApp installed. If they do not have it, a notice will appear and they will not be able to join.
When you have selected the contacts, press the video button and wait for the other users to accept the call. As soon as the first one confirms, the interface will be activated and the others can join. It is also possible to add members during a video call. So if you start with four, you can add up to four more contacts.
