WhatsApp Web has always been a great tool for texting and sharing media while on your computer, but voice and video calls were limited to mobile. Well, that’s changing with the introduction of group calls on whatsapp Web.
What’s New?
- 🗣️ Group Voice Calls: Now, you can enjoy voice chats with multiple participants directly from your computer.
- 📹 Group Video Calls: For the first time, video calls can include multiple people, so you can join or host a meeting, virtual hangout, or family call — all through your browser!
🚀 Why Is This a Game-Changer?
- Multitasking: You no longer need to juggle between your phone and computer for important calls. The new group call feature allows seamless communication while you’re working, gaming, or browsing on the web.
- Better Experience: Larger screen, better audio, and the ability to use keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation and control. Group video calls can now feel just as smooth as a mobile experience.
- Enhanced Convenience: Especially for remote work or online study sessions, this update brings significant flexibility — all your whatsapp group chats and meetings now fit perfectly into your desktop environment.
🛠️ How to Use Group Voice and Video Calls on whatsapp Web
Update whatsapp Web: Make sure your WhatsApp on your phone is updated to the latest version. Then, refresh whatsapp Web in your browser.
Start a Group Call: Open a group chat, and tap the call button. From there, you can add multiple participants to your voice or video call.
Join Calls: You’ll receive notifications and can click on the link to join the call, just like you would on mobile.
🌐 When Will It Be Available?
This feature is currently being rolled out globally and is expected to be available to all users within the next few weeks. Ensure your whatsapp app and web browser are updated for the best experience.
🎉 Pro Tip: If you need to mute notifications or adjust video settings (like switching between front and rear cameras), these options will now be directly available within the call interface on whatsapp Web!
