Telegram allows to schedule voice chats on channels, currently in beta

After the introduction of audio rooms in Telegram, the popular messaging app plans to go even further to match features such as those offered by Clubhouse: Telegram version 7.7 already allows the programming of voice chats in channels. In this way, it is possible to anticipate the communications and thus prepare the listeners for the transmission.

With the growing importance of audio rooms and with applications fighting to steal the popularity quota reached by Clubhouse, we will end up having audio rooms even in the phone application

. As the ubiquity of this feature arrives, Telegram is rushing it into its apps, both mobile and desktop. In fact, one of the new features of the next stable release revolves precisely around voice chats. Because it would be nice to be able to program them?

Schedule your next voice chats so that channel subscribers are prepared

Telegram is finalizing version 7.7 of its application for all platforms. Currently it can be beta tested, both for Android and also for iOS. There isn’t too much news visible, at least for now, but there is one that will be of great interest to the channel administrators: the programming of voice chats.

Through voice conversations or audio rooms, Telegram channel managers can create their own “podcasts” or audio broadcasts. Thematic discussions with or without participants; and listeners who will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers. One of the notable advantages is that Telegram allows you to record these voice conversations in order to share them easily with any channel subscriber. And soon they can be programmed.

By scheduling voice conversations, administrators can easily set the time and date for conversations on create anticipation for the start of the event

. To do this, simply start a new voice chat from the channel options, as before; only with version 7.7 Telegram has included the possibility of scheduling events. Once the time and date are set the counter will be fixed at the top of the cat. And members will be notified before the event so they can register.

To test the new voice chat schedules, simply download the beta version of Android or sign up for the TestFlight program if you have an iPhone or iPad. Telegram version 7.7 is still in beta, but it won’t take long to reach all users stably. Surely at the end of this week.
