Telegram launches one-on-one video calls with end-to-end encryption
Telegram has rolled out the alpha version of its video calling feature to iOS and Android, with a promise that group calls will soon arrive on the secure messaging app.
In a blog post, Telegram said that one-on-one video calls may be launched from the profile pages of contacts, with the option to switch the video on or off at any point in the call.
The video calls on Telegram support picture-in-picture mode, so that people can check and reply to their messages while talking to a friend. The calls are also protected with end-to-end encryption, with the security confirmed by matching emojis on the screen on either end of the line.
Telegram continues to work on more features and improvements for its video call offering, saying that it is working to launch group video calls in the coming months. The upcoming feature will allow the app to jump into the videoconferencing market, which has become more crucial as people stay at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
