News Link: WhatsApp Web video/Voice Call Feature Spotted – coming soon.- By MK (Editor)
WhatsApp Web is soon expected to get video/voice call option. The new feature has been spotted in action on WhatsApp’s desktop/web version. The Facebook-owned company has started rolling out the call feature to a few WhatsApp beta testers, as per a report by Wabetainfo. Users are a beta tester and haven’t received the call feature, might be getting it in the coming days.
The cited source has shared a few screenshots. Which show the voice and video call button will be located on the chat header similar to the mobile version. The images suggest that whenever you will receive a call on WhatsApp web/desktop, a separate window will pop up. Which you can accept, decline or ignore an incoming call.
Appearance of the screen
If you are making a call, a small box will pop up and offer a few options as is the case with most video calls when you place a call. These are turn off video, mute voice, reject button and more. If WhatsApp places a dedicated small box every time you make or receive a call, that would be better as users will also be able to chat while attending a call.
Currently, you can only place a voice or video call on the mobile version of WhatsApp. The video calling feature is free on this messaging app. And to get started you just need a working internet connection. There is no restriction of how many calls you can make in a day or how long a call can last. In the mobile version, you will find the voice or video call icon in the top right corner of any WhatsApp chat. Currently, WhatsApp only supports up to 8 participants for group voice or video calls.
The WhatsApp Web call feature is soon expected to go live for everyone. If you can’t wait for the feature, then you can use Messenger Rooms for video calling with WhatsApp friends. For this, you don’t even need to log in to your Facebook account.
