WhatsApp has not been left behind. The company launches video calls of 4 to 8 people in a group limit that will come to compete with Zoom, the company that is making multiple users by creating this platform that is revolutionizing.
For now the test is available only for beta version 2.20.50.25 for the iOS system that is accessible from TestFlight and for version 2.20.133 of the Android app.
Watch: SO ARE THE BUNKERS WHERE THE MILLIONAIERS REFUGE
As highlighted by WaBetaInfo, it is possible that even having the beta version still does not have this tool activated. If that happens, from the specialized page they suggest making a backup of the chats and re-downloading the beta version, since that way WhatsApp downloads the latest settings from the server, and in this way the function would be activated.
Whatsapp is not far behind and launches video calls on Facebook to compete with Zoom.
This tool is not yet available in the final edition of the messaging service. Usually the new properties or tools come first to the beta version, only accessible to some users (beta testers). It is important to note that these beta versions are always more unstable, as a test and not final versions.
Once it goes through that trial period, the news arrives at the final update that can be given automatically or downloaded directly from the corresponding official store (Apple Store or Play Store).
Those who have the beta version will be able to test the possibility of video calls of up to 8 people as long as the other 7 with whom they are seeking to establish the connection also have the beta edition installed.
Video calls have come to revolutionize communications, mainly by taking the lead in zoom.
This new limit of 8 people doubles the 4 that WhatsApp has in force so far for most users who do not have the beta version. Although many believe that this increase in the limit is a way of competing with Zoom, it must be borne in mind that this platform allows video calls of up to 100 people, with which the limit of 8 people is quite far.
Zoom is not the only platform that allows for massive connections. Skype allows video calls of up to 50 people, while in the paid version the limit is 250. Hangouts, meanwhile, has a limit of up to 10 people (Gmail, G Suite Basic) or 25 people (in the case of the Business option and for educational centers) and Facebook Messenger, for up to 50 users.
