#VIDEO CALL ON WHATSAPP DESKTOP CODE#
To use the new video calling feature, users will have to set up the WhatsApp desktop app on either Mac or PC, which requires that you already be a WhatsApp user on mobile. After installing the desktop app (from WhatsApp website), users will then scan a QR code to log in. As mentioned, voice and video calls on WhatsApp Desktop are end-to-end encrypted, meaning that the data travels from one device to another in an encrypted form to prevent snooping, even from WhatsApp. Step 3: WhatsApp will display a video-cam. Step 2: Click on the name of the person and open their personal chat. Step 1: Open WhatsApp and select the chat option from the bottom (iphone) or directly go to the chat of the person (Android) with whom you want to start the video call. The video appears in a resizable standalone window on the computer screen and is positioned at the top so that users do not miss their chats. This is how you can start a video call with anyone you want.

In a statement, WhatsApp explains that the video calling feature on the WhatsApp Desktop app will support both portrait and landscape orientations. Though WhatsApp calling does not directly compete against Zoom or Google Meet video conferencing platforms, the new option will still be useful for its massive userbase who now have an additional option. WhatsApp allows you to make or receive video calls on its desktop app version of Windows and Mac as well as on browser.

The Facebook-owned platform claims that similar to the voice and video calling on the phone apps, the Desktop app also offers end-to-end encryption for security.

In a tweet, the instant messaging company says that the feature is rolling out now, while there’s no word over its availability for the web client. WhatsApp is finally rolling out the highly-anticipated voice and video calling feature for the Desktop app.
