Over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic. And just like written messages, all those calls are protected with end-to-end encryption. We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions
Group Calling allows up to eight participants to video call with each other using WhatsApp.
To make a group video call from a group:
Go to the group you want to video call.
If your group chat has five or more participants, tap Group call .
If your group chat has four or less participants, tap Video call .
In this case, the call will immediately begin.
Search for or select the contacts you want to add to the call.
Tap Video Call .
To make a group video call from the CALLS tab:
Go to the CALLS tab.
Tap New call > New group call .
Search for or select the contacts you want to add to the call.
Tap Video Call .
To make a group video call from an individual chat:
Open the chat with one of the contacts you want to video call.
Tap Video call .
Once the contact accepts the call, tap Add Participant .
Search for or select another contact you want to add to the call.
If prompted, tap ADD.
Note:
Make sure you and your contacts have strong Internet connections when placing or receiving group video calls.
The quality of the video call will depend on the contact with the weakest connection.
When you receive a group video call, the incoming WHATSAPP VIDEO CALL screen will show the participants currently on the call, and the first contact listed will be the participant that added you.
During a group video call, you have the option to turn your video off by tapping Video off .
You can't remove a contact during a group video call.
The contact would need to hang up their phone to disconnect from the call.
Group video call history will appear in the CALLS tab. You can tap the call history to view the individual contacts from the call.
While it's possible to be in a group video call with someone you've blocked, you can't add a contact that you've blocked to the call or a contact that has blocked you.
