WhatsApp: Make voice and video calls in a group - how it works
If you want to make a voice or video call free of charge via WhatsApp, this is now also possible in groups with several participants. We'll show you how it's done.
Instructions: Start calls with groups
Like the news, voice and video calls in WhatsApp groups are encrypted end-to-end.
- Open WhatsApp and select a desired contact.
- Tap the phone or camera icon at the top to start an audio or video call.
- If the contact has answered the call, tap the contacts icon in the top right.
- Then select another contact to add them to the conference.
Conference call at WhatsApp: You need to know that
- In total, you can make calls to WhatsApp with up to four people at the same time. If one person leaves, another can be added.
- Each participant can add other people. However, the person must be in the participant's respective address book.
- You will not be automatically informed when a new participant arrives. However, you can easily hear in the background when called.
- If another person calls you via WhatsApp in parallel, the conference call is held.
