WhatsApp allows 32 participants in group calls on desktop
WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is expanding its video calling capabilities on its Windows desktop app.
Users will now be able to engage in video and audio calls with up to 32 participants, an increase from the previous limit of eight participants for group video calls.
The enhanced feature is currently being rolled out to beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta update 2.23.24.1.0.
WABetaInfo shared a screenshot revealing that selected beta testers would receive an invitation to try out group calling.
The invitation emphasizes the ability to make video calls to both contacts and groups directly from the Windows app, with support for up to 32 participants.
However, some users may receive a different message stating that video calling is limited to 16 participants.
This update also introduces the option to share screen content during video calls, a feature previously announced in the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2322.1.0 update.
Additionally, some beta testers may gain access to video messages with the latest app update.
