Telegram supports video calls in 2025, including both one-on-one and group video calls. You can start a video call on Telegram by opening the app, selecting a contact or group, and tapping the video call or video chat button at the top right of the screen. For group calls, you create or open a group chat, tap on the group profile, and select "Start video call" to initiate a group video chat. Participants can join, mute/unmute themselves, turn their video on/off, and leave or end the call at any time [1] [3] [4] [8].
Telegram introduced video calls as a feature starting around 2020, with end-to-end encryption ensured by matching four on-screen emoji between callers, providing 100% security. Video calls support picture-in-picture mode for multitasking during the call. Since then, Telegram has continued to update and improve video call features, including group video calling to meet user demand [2] [5].
In summary, Telegram in 2025 offers seamless and secure video calling for individual and group chats, with straightforward steps to initiate and manage calls on both iOS and Android devices.
