WhatsApp took a long time to launch a separate client for Windows PC. Although it has been available for quite some time, the Windows client still 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 boost productivity and make the app way more useful on computers. The WhatsApp team is testing a new feature to improve group video calling capabilities on Windows. It will soon allow users to have video calls with up to 32 participants. WhatsApp for Windows – Group video call member limit raised to 32 Currently, WhatsApp for Windows allows people to have group video calls with only up to eight participants. This number is significantly low when compared to other group video calling options. This amount is very easy to fill if you are making important business calls, or holding video meetings with your family members. This will soon change once the WhatsApp Team aims to increase this amount exponentially. The new change is already available in WhatsApp for Windows beta 2.2324.1.0. The experts from WABetaInfo states that WhatsApp is testing a limit of up to 32 members. So some beta testers already see an immediate prompt alerting them to the change in the latest version. The report says that some users saw a maximum of 16 members. It’s very likely that 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 pace. The app took a long time to arrive and is now taking a while to get all the features available on other platforms. However, it seems that we are finally seeing a steady increase in the number of features coming to the client. Previously, WhatsApp provided a call back alert for missed calls within the chat window. The new improvement to video calls would be another welcome feature. Hopefully, WhatsApp For Windows will become powerful enough to challenge other well-established meeting/chat apps.
