Voice Chats Done Right

Group Video Calls

[033d80a733]
Introducing Group Video Calls

Today's update lets you turn on your camera or share your screen
during Voice Chats in groups - on all devices, including tablets and
desktops. This brings voice chats to a whole new level, ready for
online classes, business meetings and family gatherings.

We're also introducing animated backgrounds, stylish message
animations and more - enough to fill a second blog post.

 Group video calls

Voice chats in any group can now seamlessly turn into group video
calls - just tap the camera icon to switch your video on.

Tap on any video to make it fullscreen. If you pin a video, it will
stay focused as new users join the call and turn on their cameras.

    To start a voice chat, check the [?] menu in the profile of any
    group where you are an admin (on iOS, you will find a 'Voice
    Chat' button right in the group profile).

While audio-only participants are unlimited, video is currently
available for the first 30 people who join the voice chat. This limit
will increase soon as voice chats take on streaming games, live
events and more.

 Screen sharing

In addition to your camera feed, you can also share your screen - or
both at the same time.

    To share your screen, tap [?] or [?] in any app and select it from
    the menu.

 Noise suppression options

We've improved noise suppression in voice chats to keep everyone's
audio clear and crisp, even when you're eating something crispy.
We've also added a toggle to turn noise suppression off in settings -
for those times when munching has meaning.

 Tablet and desktop support

Tablets and computers have more screen space and offer more display
options - tap to open the side panel and see a split-screen view of
the video grid and list of participants, optimized for both portrait
and landscape orientation.

Voice chats on desktop open in a separate window, so you can type and
talk without minimizing anything. Desktop apps also have selective
screensharing so you can broadcast an individual program instead of
your whole screen.

When you're using a desktop app, anyone who starts sharing their
screen will be pinned automatically. This is especially useful when
small teams meet to coordinate their work.

 And more?

That's it for today... No, wait. In fact, we're having two updates
instead of one:
