WhatsApp’s group call limit has always been 32 participants, but the platform now allows more participants to be displayed on screen simultaneously. This update enhances the overall experience by facilitating better interaction and communication within group chats, making it easier to stay connected with everyone during a call.
In addition to this, WhatsApp says that it’s also working to improve its video quality:
“We recently launched MLow codec which improves call reliability. Calls made on mobile devices benefit from improved noise and echo cancellation, making it easier to have calls in noisy environments, and video calls have higher resolution for those with faster connections. Audio is crisper overall, even if you have poor network connectivity or are using an older device.”
WhatsApp is enhancing its group call experience by adding screen sharing with audio.
This new feature allows participants to watch video content together within a WhatsApp group call, making it ideal for viewing presentations, collaborating on projects, or enjoying the latest movies with friends.
So better video, more participants, and more ways to engage in video chats.
It’s a good update for WhatsApp, which will provide more considerations as to how you can use the messaging platform to facilitate community engagement.
Furthermore, WhatsApp is introducing a “Speaker Spotlight” element that will automatically highlight the person currently speaking during a video chat. This addition is especially useful in group calls with up to 32 participants, as it helps everyone keep track of the conversation more easily. These updates collectively aim to improve communication and interaction within group chats, making them more engaging and user-friendly.
