There are two ways to make a group or video call on WhatsApp: either by calling contacts who are part of a group, or by calling a single contact and adding more participants later.
How to make group calls to contacts in a group
If we want to call different contacts that are part of a group, we must first open WhatsApp and select a group to which we belong:
Selecting a group on WhatsApp
We then click on the call icon located in the upper right corner of the screen:
Group conversation button
Now we select the contacts we want to call and press either the phone or the camera button:
Selection of participants and type of call
If we press the phone icon, since it is a voice call and we cannot see the participants, this is what we will see on the screen:
Voice call to group participants
If we press the on the camera, until the participants accept the communication, the following will appear on the screen:
A video connection with participants in a group
And this is what it looks like once they have accepted the call:
Video call to participants of a connected group
If we want to hang up, all we have to do is touch the screen and tap the red button that appears.
How to make group calls by adding participants
This method is a little different from the previous one because we’re going to call a single contact first. To do this, the first thing we do is click on a contact that we want to call on the main screen of WhatsApp:
Select a contact to call
In conversation, as in the previous case, we touch the phone or camera button.
Buttons for calling a single contact
Touching the phone button will start a conversation to which you can add more participants by touching the button in the top right corner of the screen:
Button to add more participants to the conference
Then we look for the contact with whom we want to communicate and click on it:
Selection of a new participant
WhatsApp will ask for confirmation to add the new participant, where we click Add click:
Confirmation of the new participant
He is automatically added to the conversation:
New participant in a voice call
Touching the camera button triggers a video call that has yet to accept the contact we’re calling:
Call an individual contact
Once this is done we tap on the screen to display the conversation buttons and then the button in the upper right corner of the screen:
Add a new participant to the video call
Again, we must find and click on the contact (or contacts) that interests us so that it is automatically added to the video call:
Added new participant
As you can see, it’s very easy if you follow the steps outlined here.
