JAKARTA – Telegram has updated its video calling feature. Now users can make group video calls of 1,000 people at once in a video.

Launching TheVerge, Telegram video calls are different from other platforms. Because the maximum number that can be displayed is only 30 people. However, others can still watch the video call.

Telegram not only increases the number of video call users but also increases image resolution with a larger size than before. Users only need to click to enlarge the video.

In addition, users will also be able to do other activities while recording video messages such as listening to their favorite music, replying to podcasts without the need to stop Telegram video calls. Not only that, users will be able to share screens in one-on-one video calls.

Apart from improving the video feature, Telegram has also added a setting to automatically delete messages within a month's time. Whereas previously only one week new messages can be deleted automatically. The developer also added an animation for the password screen.

Previously, Telegram planned to release group video calls. However, the plan was preceded by its competitor, WhatsApp, which had already introduced a certain number of group video calls, namely 50 people in one group video call.

This improvement proves that Telegram continues to work on developing features on its platform so that it can be competitive with other platforms. Currently WhatsApp is Telegram's main competitor.
