Instant messaging is something that is currently the order of the day, whether on mobile devices or on desktop computers. This is the case that we will talk about at the moment with the Windows application of one of the most used platforms in this sense, we refer to Telegram .
Say that at first this Telegram proposal saw the light as an open source alternative to WhatsApp . Only the client is really open, so there are many other similar proposals that we can also install on Windows . But with everything and with this, in these same lines we want to talk about the official Telegram application, since it does not stop improving.
This is something that is largely achieved thanks to the updates that its developers send to the Windows 10 UWP app. This is a program that you can quickly find and download from the official Microsoft store for your operating system.
Well, we tell you all this because the popular messaging service Telegram has just launched its new voice chat feature. To this we must add that the new function is already available in the official client of the platform for Windows 10 computers. Therefore, those who have installed the latest update of the application will already have this interesting functionality. And we say interesting because the truth is that it is somewhat striking, we are going to explain it.

To say that this Telegram voice chat function that we are talking about allows any user to create a conference room that can support thousands of participants. In this way users can enter and leave these rooms whenever they want. At the same time, they have a variety of management tools available to help prevent misuse of them.
In this way, any Telegram group can from now on become a voice chat room that is always active. This is something that the developers of the messaging client let us know. They also point out that voice chats work in parallel with existing text. In this way it could be said that these are an additional layer to the group’s real-time communications. As you can imagine, groups with the voice function can now be used as virtual office spaces and for work teams, for example.
