Telegram has announced a couple of significant updates to its messaging client across different platform. The first is a pretty significant upgrade to video calling and the other is to the UI and design.

The video calling side of things in Telegram is getting lots of new changes, many of which seem inspired by Apple's updates to FaceTime during WWDC 2021.

Telegram now gets group video call support. Users have to initiate a group voice call and then tapping the camera icon will automatically place you in a group video call. While there are no limits to the number of group voice call participants on Telegram, group video calls are currently limited to 30 people.

In addition to just sharing your camera feed, you can also share your screen with others on the video call. On smartphones and tablets, by default your entire display is shared. On desktop, users have a choice of sharing the entire screen or a particular window.
