There is an app for that if you would like to stay indoors but still want to meet new people. To tell you the truth, it might be more than you realize.
It is clear that there has been a significant increase in the amount of video chat apps downloaded.
The Mac version of ZOOM, a product that is typically utilized in the enterprise, is currently sitting at number nine on Apple’s list of free iOS apps.
Messenger, a product that’s frequently used for video chatting, is ranked at number eleven. No. 23 is The Facebook-owned WhatsApp, which also primarily caters to mobile messaging.
Preloaded apps such as FaceTime on iPhones and Google Duo on Android phones wouldn’t be included in the chart because they’re included on many phones already.
This is how HouseParty, a platform for group video chat, describes the apps’ main purpose: “to help you and your friends stay connected when you’re apart.”
However, if you wish to use them, first you must locate where your friends or contacts are – or where they are willing to go. Only if you know other people who are there will the apps become interactive. In addition, no, FaceTime cannot be used by everyone regardless of the fact that it has now become synonymous with video chatting.

Apps to make new friends
You might also make new friends. FaceTime, Skype, and others are all different in that you use them to meet new people, but the pop.in app is distinct in that you go on it to meet new people. For the past several months, the app, which allows for group games each night that people can participate in together regardless of whether they are on or off-camera, has been in use by people who are unable to leave their home, like parents or caregivers with young children.
Pop.in has seen about 25% to 30% week-over-week growth over the past five weeks. Founder Alex Kruglov recently mentioned that the company had to expand its server capacity in order to meet rising demand.
He explains, “No one wants to meet face-to-face, but you yearn for human connection.” People are finally realizing that human connection is more important than they previously believed.
Through his app, people can meet and become friends, just as they would at a bar or a comedy show.
Which applications are available for free?
Worldwide use, extensive user base: The most popular application in the world for free text messages, with a huge international audience.
The maximum number of people who can join a video chat call is four.
FaceTime
This app is among the most popular because of the fact that there are over a billion iPhone users in the network. In other words, you can make calls to those who are using the Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel phone OS, but you cannot make calls to people who use another mobile operating system.
The maximum number of people who can be on a phone call is 32.

Google Duo
For those who prefer not to worry about which type of smartphone your friends have, here’s a good answer. In addition to just mobile phones, Duo supports tablets and laptops as well. Google also built-in Duo video calling support to the Nest Hub video display units, which integrates Duo video calls into the Nest Hub display.
A maximum of eight people can be on a phone call.
Google Hangouts
Google Hangouts is also cross-platform, having been widely used for video chats since long before the term ‘multitasking’ had come into use. The Hangouts app is still available in the app stores even though Google has shifted its marketing focus away from Duo.
The maximum number of people in a video hangout is 10.

Skype
It is widely regarded as the father of video chat, thanks to its popular use in facilitating free international phone calls. Skype has now been bought by Microsoft, which has changed the service’s targets from the family to the business. Microsoft now touts the ability to get a Skype meeting “on your smartphone in 3 simple clicks,” regardless of who else will be in the meeting. You don’t use the Skype of today for funny stickers and GIFs, but instead, simply communicate.
The number of people that can participate in a video call is 50.
Zoom
Zoom is free of charge. To be clear, the session is limited to 40 minutes. Tiers of pricing plans begin at $14.99 per month for greater participation and increased meeting time.
With a fee, up to 500 people can join a video call.
Facebook Messenger
Due to the popularity of Facebook Chat, Facebook’s own chat app is mostly used for chatting and includes the option to send money and play games as well. On the other hand, video and audio calls are included in the selection of features. Another version of the Messenger app for kids exists, which only has authorized contacts on it, and lets parents and adults keep tabs on exchanges between those people.

Up to six people can be on a call at the same time.
Houseparty
The app that caters to teens’ desire for group video chat has recently been acquired by Epic Games, which created the massive hit game Fortnite.
On a video call, how many people can be: 8
