One of WhatsApp’s rivals Telegram is joining the group video calls that have been so successful in the Facebook app. New features are coming in the beta version of Telegram.
Video calling became very popular due to the pandemic and one of the most used by people was WhatsApp group video calling. Telegram joins this feature and updates its beta version with this option and others.
Media Gizchina echoes Telegram’s new beta, version 7.8.0., which include many new features with which to try to position itself against its competitors such as WhatsApp and Clubhouse.
First of all, Telegram will support group video calls however it does not indicate what the maximum number of participants will be. This is a feature that has been announced for a long time, but it just keeps coming. Appearing in the beta, it looks like the launch is getting closer, although there is no official date yet.
Now that WhatsApp is going through a rough patch, you might be considering using other apps. Do you know everything Telegram offers?
Still in the field of video, Telegram has decided to push its version of Clubhouse a little further. Its audio channels allowing to make conferences similar to those of the social network will now make it possible to broadcast live videos. They will be highlighted with the hashtag #vid and with them Telegram will look a bit more like Instagram and other social networks.
