WhatsApp supports calls with up to 8 participants

Whatsapp Video call – WhatsApp supports group audio and video connections since 2018, but has always been limited to three people at the same time. The latest announced WhatsApp update (currently in beta) improves this situation because it raises the limit to eight participants (including you). Interested?

WhatsApp users enrolled in the Beta program have already received the update for calls with more participants, which means that very soon the new option will be distributed to everyone .

How to make a teleconference Video call on WhatsApp

To make a conference call , the steps to follow are the same as before. Must:

  • Enter the WhatsApp application on your Android phone .
  • Go to the Calls tab (top right).
  • Press the new call button at the bottom right.
  • Press New group call .
  • Select call participants.

Once you have selected the other seven recipients of the call, press the call button on the top right.

You have to keep in mind that in order to work, all the other participants must have benefited from this beta version of WhatsApp .

WABetaInfo informs that already the first people using the current WhatsApp beta for Android  can take advantage of the increased group size limit. If during the selection of people to conduct a video call, the top bar of the application will show information about the increased number of people – it means that you are one of the users selected to test this service. However, remember that all participants of this connection must use the latest version of the WhatsApp beta, so it may take some time before most people can actually enjoy this benefit.

This feature is available on the latest beta version of WhatsApp 2.20.133, which can be obtained by signing up for testing on the Play Store  or downloading it from the APK. Because this functionality is still being developed through a server-side update, you may not be able to use it immediately after installation, but it should eventually reach everyone.
