Telegram Gets Group Video Calls Support, Animated Backgrounds and Emoji With New Update

Telegram has introduced group video calls — over a year after initially announcing its arrival. Users across mobile devices, tablets, and desktops can utilise the update to transform their group audio chats into video conference calls.

These changes include the addition of animated backgrounds, new message sending animations, and new animated emoji. Telegram has also provided the option to share your screen and even both your camera feed and screen simultaneously.

Users on tablets and desktops get additional support during video calls, where they can open the side panel and see a split-screen view of the video grid and list of participants. It will be optimised for both portrait and landscape orientation.

On desktops, users will also have the ability for selective screensharing. This is similar to how you can share a particular screen from your desktop when using Zoom.

However, the option to make group video calls is currently limited to the first 30 people joining a conversation on the platform. This simply means that you can't add more than 29 members to your group video calls on Telegram.

The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...
