The new update turns Telegram into a tool for group video calls, whether on a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Telegram is introducing several new tools. During voice calls in groups, the camera can now also be switched on and chats received Animationsas reported by Telegram.
Up to 30 people can attend one Video meeting via Telegram take part. However, the capacity is to be expanded soon. Audio-only meetings are possible with an unlimited number of people.
The video calls start using the group voice chat function. During a voice call, the camera can be switched on with a click on the video symbol.
The update also brings video calls to desktops and tablets. This also makes Telegram an option for business meetings or classes.
Telegram also makes it possible to split the screen – either for a single program or for the entire screen. Whoever shares the screen is automatically pinned.
In addition, background noise should be better suppressed.
The chats get more animation and color. When sending messages, Telegram automatically changes the color gradient of the background. Color, pattern and style can be customized.
The messages themselves are also animated: stickers and emojis now “hop” from the keyboard into the chat. On iOS, text messages and other media are also animated.
In addition to the backgrounds and video calls, Telegram has also simplified communication with bots: commands can be browsed and selected using a new menu button.
