WhatsApp took a long time to introduce a standalone client for Windows PC. Although it has been available for some time, the Windows client offers limited features compared to its Android and iOS counterparts. It seems that the company is gradually implementing new features to make the PC client more interesting. Perhaps, in a few months, it will surpass its current “mere” implementation. There is a new feature that will greatly increase productivity and make the application more useful on computers. There is a WhatsApp group Test the new feature Improve group video calling capabilities on Windows. It will soon allow users to make video calls with up to 32 participants.

WhatsApp for Windows – Group video call limit for members increased to 32

Currently, WhatsApp for Windows only allows up to eight people to make group video calls. This number is significantly lower compared to other group video calling options. It is very easy to top up this amount if you make important business calls or have video meetings with your family members. This will soon change as the WhatsApp team aims to grow this amount exponentially.

The report states that some users saw a maximum of 16 members. The team will test different arrangements among beta testers to see what works best. WhatsApp on Android and iOS already supports up to 32-person voice calls on Windows and up to 32-person group video calls on Android and iOS. So it makes sense to increase the video call limit to 32 on Windows PC as well.

WhatsApp for Windows is known for its slow development. The app took a long time to arrive and now it will take some time to get all the features available on other platforms. However, we are finally seeing a steady increase in the number of features coming to the client. Earlier, WhatsApp provided a callback alert for missed calls in the chat window. Another welcome feature would be the new improvement for video calling. Hopefully, WhatsApp for Windows will become powerful enough to challenge well-established meeting/chat apps.
