#telegram video call

To mark its 7th year, Telegram has rolled out its video calling feature and more animated emojis to the platform. According to Telegram, the alpha version of the video calling feature is now available on Android and iOS. Users can start a video call from a contact's profile page, and switch the video on or off at any time during voice calls. Video calls also support picture-in-picture mode, allowing users to scroll through chats and multitask while maintaining eye contact. Telegram video calls are also protected with end-to-end encryption. Telegram says that it will receive more features and improvements in future versions, and will soon launch group video calls. WhatsApp has announced several new calling features, headlined by the addition of audio and video calling on WhatsApp Web, allowing users to make and receive calls directly from their browser without installing the desktop application. The company has also improved call quality with QuickHD, which enables high-definition video earlier in a call instead of taking several seconds to adjust.
