VK communities can now call subscribers

The social network VKontakte announced the launch of calls from communities, the administrators of which received another way to communicate with their audience. Now it will be easier for companies, brands, public and creative people to organize master classes with discussions and call users directly.

Community members can choose whether to call their followers on behalf of the community or on their own behalf. At the moment, group calls are limited to 128 participants, but soon their number will be increased to 2048 people. Users can join the call using a link that will be posted to the community or chat. Communities can also join the started call, which will allow organizing meetings for several publics. Moreover, such calls can be broadcast in a group, and all VKontakte users will be able to watch them.

VKontakte has also taken care of privacy: a new option has appeared in the settings that allows you to prohibit such calls, allow calls from all communities or only from those to which the user is subscribed. The new feature is still in the testing phase and is not available to all communities.

“We have added the ability to make a call with subscribers on behalf of the group, including with the preservation of anonymity. This may be important for authors publishing under a pseudonym. Now calls from communities work in the same way as usual calls from a personal page, “said Alexander Tobol, technical director of VKontakte.

Recently, several calling tools have appeared on the social network, among which are the administrator mode with control of microphones and video of users, intelligent noise reduction, broadcast video calls and blocking participants.
