Telegram has announced a new update on its livestreams feature, allowing an unlimited number of viewers to its groups and channels. Also included is the option to remove captions from media and hide identity of senders when forwarding files.
In a blog post, the company said users can now host livestreams and group video calls with an unlimited number of participants. For video calls however, the unlimited number depends on the number of people in the group.
Admins can tap on “livestream ” in a channel or “video chat” in groups to start a session. The livestream audience can also raise hands and join in as speakers with the admin’s permission.
