Namaste offers users with live calling and chat options. It allows you to invite other users to a conference call using a meeting link and a code. It will allow group video calls with multiple people simultaneously, however, the number of maximum participants has not been revealed yet.. 

Namaste’s mobile app will reportedly let you switch to the rear camera by tapping on the “toggle” option while you are on call. It will also give the option to not use the camera for calls at all and only do an audio call. It also lets you toggle between the screens and check out other meeting participants similar to Zoom. In Namaste, it is not necessary that only the host can invite people to join the meeting, infact, whoever has the meeting details can join it.

The website currently has a note saying that “users may face some temporary connectivity issues with the site as they have been facing tremendous demand, thereby requesting users to check back after some time.
