You can have 4 people at once on a Whattsapp video chat. Just video call the first person then add the others to the conversation, it's really simple 👍
Thanks chaps. I thought it was limited to 2 people Some more for you then.Am I right in thinking that watsapp is not supported on tablets, I have a galaxy tab A 2019. Also I have tried and really struggled in the past to get my phone moto G5s to mirror onto my tv - an older smart LG wired to internet as is has no wifi. I have tried iMedia share and TV cast but have to faf around so much to get them going it drives everyone mad.

If you want to mirror your phone onto your TV then I'd suggest buying a google chromecast. It's a little device that plugs into a HDMI port and basically makes any TV a smart TV. It runs off wifi and by using the app on your phone you can cast anything to the big screen, also has all the catch up and youtube etc built into it which is nice.They're only around £30 but well worth it if your wanting to cast things (cough* cough* dodgy films cough* cough*) 😜
Just looking into chromecast. Seems it works with whatsapp apart from sound through the tv which is ok. So also now looking into what else I can do with it. Youtube would be useful but we already use netflix through a netflix enabled blueray From what I can work out I can not use chromcast to browse the internet via my phone to the tv, is that right. Also I don't use google photos but use a different gallery app and not sure if I can cast my photos with out using google photos. UPDATE. Just brought one from currys £20 free delivery.

I hope it works out the way you want 👍👍
If you want decent quality, then you can use Google Duo.It's already a built in app on later Android phones (in the Google Folder), but you can also download the app from Playstore or the Apple Store.It can take up to 8 people at once, and can be used on a phone, tablet or laptop.https://www.androidcentral.com/google-duo
Update my chromecast has arrived, not plugged it in or anything but a bit pissed off because no advert or picture of it says it also has to be plugged into a power supply via a USB cable. Everything always shows it just plugged and dangled from the hdmi port on the tv. My tv is wall mounted with all cables going through the wall and are hidden. But all may not be lost because I think I can power it from the tv's usb port so everything will be behind the tv.
Just watched some utube stuff but having trouble getting it through my receiver to output to my surround sound. I usually select on the receiver the input blu ray or set top box or tv. In this case I select tv but nothing, can't get it to go through the sound system, usually its via arc.

I can't get any sound to it at all, but only on Netflix, everything else is fine.But if i use the Netflix app that is on my Freeview Recorder box it works absolutely fine, even though it still passes through my tv on its way to the sound bar?I went through every setting possible, changed cables, tried analogue instead of digital, but after looking on the internet i finally found out that it wasn't just my equipment, it was a known problem and if your set up was affected then the two items simply wouldn't work together and nothing could be done about it.

Every-time I want to watch something through a different media I spend ages faffing through sound settings. With your sound issues have you tried an optical cable connection.
