How to make group video calls with my contacts on Instagram?

Initially, the Instagram application did not have the option to make group video calls enabled, but for various reasons the Instagram platform decided to integrate this option so that many people could make group video calls without the need to use WhatsApp or another application. In addition, this option is enabled for both Android and iPhone phones.

However, it will be necessary to have the latest update to be able to make group video calls and be able to enjoy all the additional options that we can use while making a video call. One of these options that you can enjoy is to place a filter to see yourself better or just for fun. You can use this option once you are making the video call, you can select the face icon where you will choose the filter for the video call.

It is also important to note that you can make group video calls with both your followers and those who do not follow you and here we will teach you how to make these video calls in a very simple way .

with my followers

You will be able to make group video calls with your followers in two ways, the first from a group that you have created where you will simply have to press on the icon of a camcorder or video recorder and the video call will automatically begin with the members of the group.

The second option will be through a selection of the followers with whom you want to make the video call and for this you must perform the following steps:

1. Open the Instagram app.
2. Then, click on the Messenger iconthat will take you to “Direct”.
3. Then click on the icon that has a pencil.
4. Next, search for the people with whom you want to make the video call and once found, click on them to add them to the list.
5. Subsequently, click on the “Chat” optionthat is in the upper right corner.
6. Then in the chat that started, you must click on the video camera icon and thus start making the video call.

People who don’t follow me

Not only will it be possible to make video calls with our followers , but we will also be able to do it with those who do not follow us, which is an amazing advantage. Now to carry out this procedure it will be very simple and it is done in the same way as with those who are our followers, of course, it will be done with the selection form to make it easier. Now the steps are as follows:

1. Enter the Instagram app.
2. Click on the Messenger icon that will take us to “Direct”.
3. Now click on the pencil icon.
4. Then, find and select the people who don’t follow you, but who you want to make the group video call.
5. Then in the chat that will appear, you must click on the video camera icon to start making the video call.

people limit

Recently, when Instagram integrated the video chat function, it only allowed to make video call with only 4 people in general. But now, this limit has risen to a maximum of eight people to be able to make group video calls. However, it is rumored that Instagram will also integrate the function of creating a room to its platform to be able to videoconference up to fifty people, which would be very beneficial.

How to add a filter to my Instagram video call?

With the integration of the video chat or video call option on Instagram, other options were added to it and one of these options is to put a filter on your video call or so that the other members can see you with said filter. Now this option is available for both Android and iOS, as long as the application is updated.

Also, when you use the filter option in your video call, you can choose the filters that you like the most and those that you have saved in the filter session. Likewise, to make the video call using the filter, you must perform the following steps:
