Telegram's screen sharing feature in group video calls

 


Telegram remains a solid alternative to Whatsapp. More recently, it gained video calling smarts to help bolster its popularity during the pandemic. Now, it’s gunning for video conferencing tools with a new group video calling and screen sharing feature.

Users can now convert group voice calls into group video calls by tapping the camera icon on the call screen. Voice calls can still host “unlimited” participants, but only 30 users in a group can participate with video. Telegram notes this limit will “increase soon.”

Group admins can also pin a user’s video feed, effectively making it the first screen new users see when joining the video chat. This is available on mobile and desktop, too, and should be useful for teachers hosting online classes. Users can also tap on any one of the users’ video screens to make it fullscreen on their device.

Syncing with these improvements is the ability to share screens. Users can tap the three-dot menu button and select Share Screen from the menu to enable the feature from their tablet or smartphone. Notably, on desktop, the most recent user who shares their screen will be pinned automatically. It should make Telegram’s video call experience feel similar to the likes of Zoom and Google Meet.

The new update is available across Telegram’s mobile, desktop, and tablet apps and interfaces

8 TIPS AND TRICKS TO VIEW PRIVATE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS INSTANTLY

Send a Follow request First of all, let’s go with the oldest trick in the book: to follow the person. When you send a Follow request to a private account, you have to wait for the owner to accept the request before you can view their profile. If you’re in luck, and the person happens to be online around the time you send the request, then they may accept, and you will be able to view their profile right away. If not, you may have to wait until they come online. Personally, I don’t like this trick but let’s pretend to be good boys for a sec and play by Instagram’s rules. At least, this is how they would want us to view the profile of a private account. Call on Google for help Perhaps you’ve waited a few seconds, and the other person has yet to accept your request. No problem. Head to your Chrome or Safari and enter the person’s username into the search bar. Usually, when an account owner makes their profile private, Google has a library of their old posts.
