Video Call Apps

 



Although virtual, video calling makes communication more personal and genuine. This fact has pushed the adoption of video chatting apps as a tool for personalized communication.

In messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook messenger, video calling is one of the most used types of communication. Since 2017, over 55 million video calls are made on WhatsApp daily.

Nowadays, the video call feature has become standard in person-to-person (P2P) mobile communication apps like WhatsApp and Viber. These messaging apps are mostly used on mobile. On the other hand, business apps like Skype and Zoom offer video call functions on mobile, desktop, and web.

Compared to messaging apps, business video conferencing apps offer a wider range of options because their target audience operates in formal and informal settings. In formal settings, laptops and desktops are mostly used for work, while in informal settings, anything goes – mobile phone, laptop, desktop, and tablets.

Types of Video Calling Apps

Most video calling apps are built with a specific group of audience in mind. Usually, the preferences of the target audience determine the features built into the app.

Video calling apps fall into 3 categories: messaging apps (person to person communication apps), conferencing apps, and entertainment apps.

Messaging apps: WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, and Viber are excellent examples of messaging apps with a video calling function. These apps are designed to improve communication between people, and video calling is the highest form of virtual communication. However, messaging apps have a participant limit for video calls. For example, WhatsApp allows up to 8 participants, and Messenger has the same participant limit of 8 people per video call. Telegram only allows video calls between 2 people.

At Businessware Technologies, we have developed a video call app which can be used as a standalone application or as a module which can be integrated into an existing system, like a website, a mobile app, etc.
