The ability to make group video calls on WhatsApp
would be awesome, but right now we can't even make
video calls with one contact let alone several. As with
most problems in life, there's an app for that: it's
called Booyah, available free for iPhone and
Android. Here's how to make video calls on WhatsApp,
plus how to make group video calls on WhatsApp.
How to make video calls on WhatsApp
Booyah is a free app available in the Google Play
Store or Apple App Store that lets you video call your
WhatsApp contacts, provided your recipient also has
the app installed.
The app couldn’t be any simpler to use, simply install
it either on Android or iOS and the app will then have
access to your WhatsApp contacts. In terms of
permissions on Android, the app will require you to
access your photos/media/files, camera, microphone,
Wi-Fi and have full network access.
Once the app is installed, you’ll be able to directly
video call any of your WhatsApp contacts through the
app. In order to be able to make a video call, the
recipient(s) will need to also download and install
Booyah and of course have WhatsApp installed on their
device.
Android tablet.
As you initiate a call it will provide you with a link to
a video chat, whereby contacts can join. If you
happen to close the application whilst the call is
taking place, your video will freeze, but you’ll still be
connected to your video call via voice call only.
How to make group video calls on
WhatsApp
As well as allowing you to make video calls on
WhatsApp with single contacts, Booyah lets you hold
group video calls with several of your friends. You’ll
be able to directly add extra people within the
conversation.
We experienced a few problems with the app, where at
times it didn't properly display all the contacts, but
on the whole the app is very simple and works as
intended.
