Telegram is making waves with its new video call feature that puts the likes of Zoom, Whatsapp and some other apps into the stone age category. The chat app recently revealed an awesome update that takes video to the next level.
Telegram’s new and exciting update allows users to do group video calls that can now have up to 1000 viewers, including improved quality in video message recording which can be expanded. Regular videos can now be watched at 0.5 or 2x speed.
Telegram also added screen sharing with sound to all video calls, including 1-on-1 calls — and much more. Group video calls can now allow up to 30 users to broadcast video from both their camera and screen – and now 1000 people can watch anything from online lectures to live rap battles.
“We will keep increasing this limit until all humans on Earth can join one group call and watch us yodel in celebration”, the statement on their blog read.
Telegram launched its group video calls last month, and has now added more features and increased the number of users who can participate in a video calls at a drastic level. Though the maximum number of people able to participate and broadcast to the video call remains at 30, there’s hopes this may not remain so forever.
With this new update, you can have quite the audience now for “anything from online lectures to live rap battles,” according to the company. To use this feature, all you have to do is start a Group Video Call, create a Voice Chat from the info page (in the ⋮ menu on Android) of any group where you are an admin – then turn your video on.
