It's now possible to video chat with groups on Telegram. The app is rolling out the feature to the smartphone, tablet, and desktop apps. You can find it within the Voice Chat feature. When you start a voice chat room, a camera icon will appear, giving you the option to switch to video. Like Zoom and Google Meet, you can make a video fullscreen and pin a specific person to the call center. 

While voice chats don't have limits on participants, video calls can only allow the first 30 people in the call. According to Telegram, this is a temporary cap, and it plans to increase the limit in the future.
