Easy Ways To Make Video Calls On Telegram

Telegram Application (Indian DNA)

JAKARTA - Last year Telegram added support for making video calls through the application. Significant feature updates since Telegram was first launched in 2013.

Previously, the application, which is headquartered in London, only provided end-to-end encryption services to exchange messages and phone calls. Hence, the video calling feature which was launched in August last year was greeted with great fanfare.

Unfortunately, video calling services via Telegram is still limited. New users can make video calls with only one recipient. The conditions are quite different when looking at WhatsApp's similar features.

Through the Facebook-owned application, video calls can be made with six other people at the same time. Using a grid view, conference call participants can greet each other and look at the faces of other participants.
