The ability to video call with 32 people at the same time came to the Windows version of WhatsApp

WhatsApp messenger introduced its newest feature that can be useful for holding video conferences and holding online classes. The ability to make a video call with 32 people at the same time is the latest feature of this popular messenger that has now come to the Windows version.

It seems that the heavy competition between WhatsApp and Telegram is ending in favor of users! These two messengers are rapidly adding useful features to their apps to outpace their powerful rivals. Meta’s new trump card in this battle is the ability to video call with 32 people at the same time, which is currently available in the Windows version.

WhatsApp didn’t perform well until a few years ago, keeping users waiting for a decent version for Windows PCs for a long time. Although the Windows version of this program has limitations compared to the Android or iOS version, Meta wants to reduce this gap and add special features to the Windows WhatsApp version to make this program more useful than ever. One of the most important features that WhatsApp is testing is video chats with 32 people.

WhatsApp added the video calling feature of 32 people too late!

In recent years, WhatsApp has become the Internet Explorer of the world of messengers! Usually, the meta development team added important and useful features to the WhatsApp program very late, and this caused the migration of users to other platforms such as Telegram. For example, Meta has already been released two years late, and if such a feature was added to this messenger during the peak of Corona, probably few people would have gone to use programs like Zoom.

However, for now, WhatsApp in the Windows version only allows users to participate in a video call with eight participants. This number is low compared to WhatsApp’s competitors and is not suitable for business conversations, classrooms, webinars, etc. WhatsApp has long had plans to increase the number of users present in video chat, but until today it had not implemented these ideas.

How to use this new feature of WhatsApp right now?

The noteworthy point is that the 32-person video calling feature is currently in beta mode and is not in a good state in terms of stability. However, if you want to get access to this important feature before others, you can download and install WhatsApp Beta version 2.2324.1.0 for Windows PC.

Some published reports indicate that the number of users in video calls is limited to 16 people, and there is no news of 32-person calls. However, it is likely that WhatsApp is testing different modes to see in which mode it can maintain the stability of the WhatsApp messenger in addition to reaching more users. The limit of the number of users in Android and iOS operating systems is currently 32 people, and the most logical possible situation is that due to the larger screen of personal computers, we may have video calls of 32 people on PC as well.

In recent months, WhatsApp increased the speed of adding new features and after the limitations that occurred to it due to security and functional weaknesses and users started using Telegram and Signal, and now it is developing several different features to fill the gap between competitors.

Considering the addition of new features and of course despite the filtering of WhatsApp, are you willing to use these messengers or do you still prefer to use Telegram? Share your opinion with Gadget News and its users.
