WhatsApp is set to receive significant upgrades to its video call capabilities. The platform will now support screen sharing with audio, allowing users to share not only their screens but also the audio accompanying the content. This feature could be particularly beneficial for activities like watching videos together or delivering presentations with sound.
In addition to this, WhatsApp is increasing the maximum number of participants in video calls to 32 across all devices, including mobile and desktop platforms. This expanded capacity brings WhatsApp closer to being a suitable option for larger virtual gatherings and meetings.
To further enhance the video call experience in large groups, WhatsApp is introducing a “speaker spotlight” feature. This will automatically highlight the person who is currently speaking, making it easier for participants to follow conversations.
Calls on mobile devices will benefit from improved noise and echo cancellation, ensuring clearer conversations even in noisy environments. Video calls will also see higher resolution for users with faster internet connections, and audio quality will be enhanced across the board, even for those with older devices or poor network connectivity.
These new features will start rolling out in the coming weeks. As WhatsApp continues to innovate and adapt, it will be interesting to see how these changes enhance the user experience.
