Group video call

We leave at the end a tool that is not currently linked to groups but at some point we believe that WhatsApp will be updated to add it. We talked about group video calls of up to 4 people.

The messaging application allows you to talk between four via video and it works very easily. However, to make them we have to go person by person, first calling one and then adding the rest. Unfortunately WhatsApp does not yet allow us to start a group video call directly from a group.
