Billions of people are confined to homes as a result of the new Novel Coronavirus epidemic worldwide, which has led to a huge increase in the rate of group video calls.
Various apps like Google Duo, Zoom and Skype have taken advantage of this opportunity. Now, it seems that the Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp is ready to hit them all.
The number of people in the group video call is being increased very soon in the WhatsApp, which is currently a maximum of 4.
According to WhatsApp’s tracking website WABetaInfo, the code in the new beta version has shown that the number of participants in group audio and video calls in the messaging application is increasing.
As mentioned above, no more than 4 people can be part of a group video or audio call right now, which is a small number compared to other apps.
