Make Group Video Calls On WhatsApp
According to WhatsApp, its Group Video Calls are end-to-end encrypted (just like Chats) and are designed to work all around the World, including in areas with weak network connectivity.
WhatsApp Group Video Calls can be started by initiating a one-to-one call (as usual). Once the Call gets connected, you can tap on the “Add People” Icon (top-right corner) to Add the next participant to your WhatsApp Group Video Call.
The “Add People” Icon gets disabled after the third Participant is added, limiting the Group Video call to four participants.
