With the next update, updated voice chats appeared in Telegram launched voice chats . If earlier they were available only in groups, now they can also be created in channels. The number of participants is unlimited – millions of people can listen to live conversations at the same time.

In addition, group and channel administrators can enable a chat recording so that it can later be sent to subscribers who missed the live stream.

Listeners may be asked to participate in the discussion as a speaker or raise their hand to ask the chat administrators to give the floor. You can also listen in the background when the application is minimized.

Administrators of public groups and channels can create separate invite links for speakers and listeners. The first ones do not have to wait until they are allowed to turn on the microphone. The users themselves can join the voice chat not only on their own behalf, but also on behalf of one of their channels.

To create a voice chat, you need to go to the profile of any channel or group where you are the administrator, click on the three dots and select the appropriate item. If it is still not there, update the messenger.
