The Verge:
Apple is launching group FaceTime chats with iOS 12 that’ll be able to accommodate up to 32 participants. FaceTime will be integrated into Messages, so you can easily transition a group chat to a group video call. FaceTime will also feature filters and Animoji, as well as the company’s new Memoji.
It’s an interesting interface that looks unlike other video chats.
I don’t even know 32 people let alone want to simultaneously FaceTime chat with that many.
I’m sure I could scrounge up 32 people, but only by including people I didn’t want to talk to. 🙂
I assume the idea is to allow FaceTime to serve as an ad hoc business meeting, if necessary. The fact that they CAN do 32 people is important, even if I won’t ever be in a call that large. But I’ve got a big family, so I bet if I tried hard enough, I could pull it off. But just being able to have a four-way FaceTime call will be excellent.
Curious to see if it will be a viable alternative to a recordable Skype feed
Nice bandwidth if you can get it.
