Snapchat already allowed the realization of video calls within the app but individually with one of your friends. Well now this has changed and it is now possible to have group video calls with several of your friends at the same time. This will make your video calls much more fun in which in addition to the video call you can send text and even add selfies filters during said video call..
However, from TechnoWikis we are somewhat skeptical about the idea of Snapchat's group video calls option . Currently, users prefer to use other applications and services of video calls such as Whatsapp or Skype. However, it may be useful for the most loyal users who often share ephemeral images through the ghost's social network.
Having said this, we show you step by step how to make a group video call in the Snapchat app for iOS or Android :
How to make group video calls from the Snapchat app for Android and iOS.
The first thing you should do is update your Snapchat application from the App Store or Google Play, which is already available. When your Snapchat app is up to date, you'll need to open it and create a chat group. This is very easy since you just have to go to the chat section, moving the camera screen to the right..
Once on this screen you will have to click on the speech bubble icon with the + sign located in the upper right corner of the screen. After clicking on it, you will have to add all the friends you want to participate in the video call.
Note: Video calls can also take place in groups already created or in which you already participate..
When the group chat is created or you already participate in one of them, you must access it. Here you will see the name of all the chat members. Those friends who are connected to the social network will be shown in the form of a circle with their logo or profile photo. To start the video call you will have to click on the icon in the form of a video camera. This will launch the video call to all Group chat participants.
The other participants will receive a Video call notification in which they must press to take part in it. When participants accept the Snapchat video call, you will see how they will begin to show on your screen. In other words, the screen of your phone will be divided as more participants join the video call.
Each of the members can also write text, send emojis or even apply a selfie filter. By default everyone will display the image captured by their front camera, but it can be changed by the rear camera at any time. On the other hand, you can also cancel the video you broadcast and participate only with the audio. To do this when you are already in the Snapchat video call you must click on the icon in the form of a phone.
Obviously, any user can leave the video call and the rest of the participant will continue to be connected to the Snapchat group video call.
