WhatsApp Launches Web-Based Audio and Video Calling Feature
Meta has introduced a new feature allowing WhatsApp users to make and receive audio and video calls via the web app, previously only available on mobile or desktop apps. The update includes call history, favorites, screen-sharing, reactions, background noise suppression, faster HD streaming for video calls, and cross-device call transfer capabilities. Additional enhancements include waiting rooms for group calls, where hosts can approve participants before they join using a link. This feature is particularly useful for managing work-related meetings on WhatsApp. The company also announced that once the username system launches, users will be able to make calls across platforms using usernames instead of phone numbers.
