WhatsApp Enhances Group Video Call Capabilities (up to 32 users)
Exciting developments are on the horizon for WhatsApp users! The popular messaging app is rolling out an update that will allow group video calls with up to 32 participants, significantly increasing from the previous limit of 8. This update, available for both desktop and mobile users, is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
Key features of the update include:
Screen Sharing with Audio: Users will now be able to share their screens, including audio, during video calls, making it easier to collaborate or enjoy shared content remotely.
Automatic Speaker Highlighting: The active speaker will be automatically highlighted, ensuring everyone knows who is speaking at any given time.
These enhancements bring WhatsApp closer to other video conferencing tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, which support even larger groups. This update is particularly appealing for professional and personal uses, such as virtual meetings and watching movies or TV shows with friends and family.
The gradual rollout of this feature has been confirmed through beta testing on WhatsApp’s Windows application, with plans to extend it to other platforms shortly.
