Visit a website like <a href=\"https:\/\/downdetector.com\/status\/whatsapp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Downdetector<\/a> or go to WhatsApp\u2019s official X account to see if others are reporting issues with WhatsApp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check participant limit<\/strong>: WhatsApp allows up to 32 participants in a voice call and 8 for a video call. If you attempt to add more than this, the call will fail. Instead, remove some participants from the call or create multiple smaller groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Update WhatsApp<\/strong>: Using an outdated version of WhatsApp can lead to various issues, including call failures.

Why can\u2019t I add more than 8 participants in a video call? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">WhatsApp limits video calls to 8 participants to ensure call quality and stability.
