(Facebook launched a dedicated desktop app for its Messenger service last year, which supports group video calls.) Speaking of which, support for voice and video calls is not being extended to WhatsApp Web, the browser version of the service, at the moment, a spokesperson told TechCrunch. Video calls work “seamlessly” for both portrait and landscape orientation, and the desktop client is “set to be always on top so you never lose your video chats in a browser tab or stack of open windows,” the firm said, which began testing the feature with a small group of users on desktop late last year. To make the video go full-screen again (and get the controls to end the call) just tap the video window.WhatsApp is rolling out support for voice and video calling to its desktop app, the Facebook-owned messaging service said Thursday, providing relief to countless people sitting in front of computers who have had to reach for their phone every time their WhatsApp rang.įor now, WhatsApp said its nearly five-year-old desktop app for Mac and Windows will only support one-to-one calls, but that it will be expanding this feature to include group voice and video calls “in the future.” You can start another app and continue to have a video chat in a small window. You can have a text chat while video calling, for example.
If you like, you can open other WhatsApp tabs. After you minimize the video window, you can drag it around anywhere along the edge of either side of the screen. The video call will continue, but the video will be minimized into a small picture-in-picture video window in the corner of the screen. When in a WhatsApp call, tap the back button (on Android, it's the downward-facing arrow at the top-left, while it's the left-facing button on iOS).
Instead, you can multitask while in a WhatsApp call. WhatsApp doesn't limit you to your call when you are in a video chat. Can you multitask on a WhatsApp video call?
