WhatsApp has become an essential app in these moments of confinement and one of its most used features is video calls, Therefore, it is convenient to know how to make a group video call to talk with friends or family.
In these days of quarantine at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, technology helps a lot to spend these days better, a little more pleasant as far as possible. Especially if you are far from family members, video calls are a good option, because the use of WhatsApp is increasing these days.
Through them you can talk and see friends, family and other people you want in real time, it's not the same as seeing them physically, but at least you can have a more direct contact than making phone calls or sending a WhatsApp message.
Applications like WhatsApp allow you to make a group video call, but the truth is that it offers a limit that should probably be increased, but this is already another subject. In any case, it may be very short and you have to resort to alternatives such as Zoom.
That is, right now there is a limit of people who can be making a video call on WhatsApp at the same time, so if you want to make a video call with more people, you must resort to other options.
You should know that you can make a group video call through different sections, that is, you can follow different paths in the application to make this type of calls, you can choose the one that is most comfortable for you at all times.
Through the chats tab
You can make a video call through the WhatsApp chats tab through these few steps:
- Open WhatsApp and access the contacts or chats tab if you already have a conversation open with the person with whom you are going to make the group video call. Once inside the chat, place your phone in a suitable position so that it can be seen perfectly with the front camera and click on the video call icon at the top.
- Now you just have to add more people by clicking on the icon at the top right of “ add contact” from your address book.
Finally, you just have to wait a few moments for the different contacts to answer the group video call and that's it, you can start talking
