Then you will see a button at the top-right corner of the screen that will let you add another participant to your call. Once the call gets connected to that person, an Add Person icon is shown on the top right, above the names of the recipient. Next, when the third user accepts the call, both the names will be shown with a comma separating them. You will be able to add up to three participants for a total of four people in a video or voice call.
