WhatsApp now allows 8 users in audio, video calls
(Web Desk) –Messenger app WhatsApp has reportedly increased the limit on the number of participants who can join a video call to eight.
In today’s world of social distancing, communicating with people for leisure or work often requires some sort of video conference calls. Microsoft and Google have their own platforms for that purpose, but WhatsApp wants to join the game too.
Earlier this month, WhatsApp started offering video calls of up to 4 people and now it plans to extend the limit twofold. However, given the feature is still in beta, it might take some time to reach all users. There’s also the limitation of people using an old version, something that is probably taking care during the test process.
The feature is available to those who have the latest iOS and Android Beta update installed. Other participants will only be able to join the call if they are on the same versions.
