WhatsApp has introduced new features for video calling. The update brings higher resolution and better quality in video calls. Users can now directly apply live filters. The desktop version of WhatsApp has also got a revamped user interface making it easier to access video calls on a computer. Here are the details.
WhatsApp New Features in Video Calls
WhatsApp has added four key features for video calling on its platform. These are:
Manually Select Participants in a Group
Previously, selecting the video call option in a group chat would notify all members to join the call. The latest update now lets you select participants manually you wish to add to the video call. Others will not be notified about the call but they would see the ongoing call and join it if they wish. This feature helps to start a video call without disturbing all members of the group.
New Video Effects in Video Calls
WhatsApp has introduced new filters in video calls. These effects add funny animations and artefacts to your face in real-time, which are visible to all participants. New filter effects are also available to adjust the colour tone of the video call.
Improved Calling on Desktop
The desktop version of WhatsApp has received a dedicated section for video calls. You can now quickly start a video call, generate a video call link, or directly dial a number for video calling from your computer. However, these features are only available on the desktop app of WhatsApp, and not on the web version.
Better Video Quality
WhatsApp says it has improved the video feed quality in its calls. You can now enjoy video calls in better resolution and clarity. Although the platform has not revealed the exact resolution, WhatsApp mentions these new changes are now live for both 1-on-1 and group video calls.
The new video calling features are now available to all people on WhatsApp on the stable version. If you don’t see these features, you should try updating your WhatsApp to the latest version from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
