Telegram rolls out group video calls support, animated backgrounds and more with new update

One year after the initial announcement of the feature, Telegram has rolled out group video calls for all users across mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. With the help of the new feature, Telegram users will be able to transform their group audio chats into video chats. The company has also introduced many features in its latest update and this includes screen sharing, noise suppression in voice chats, animated backgrounds, and a dedicated bot menu.

In order to use the group video chat, users can convert their voice chats into Group video calls. To do so, they will have to tap the ‘Share my video’ option in any active session. As of now, the company has enabled the features for the Group Video Chat option for the first 30 people who join the voice chat. It is to note that the number of audio-only participants is unlimited. “Telegram will increase this limit soon as voice chats take on streaming games, live events and more,” the company said in a statement.
