WhatsApp has been busy updating its messaging platform with multiple new features lately. On Tuesday, the company announced that it’s introducing the ability to share your screen during a video call, enabling users to share a live view of their screen while they are on the call. This update will help make WhatsApp a real contender in the video-conferencing market, competing with traditional apps like Microsoft Meet, Google Meet, Zoom, and Apple’s FaceTime.
Mark Zuckerberg took to social media to post about this new update. He shared a picture of himself on a group WhatsApp call where someone was sharing their screen. The feature looks quite similar to how screen sharing works on various video-conferencing platforms.
Sharing your screen on WhatsApp is easy. All you have to do is click on the ‘Share’ Icon and choose between sharing a specific application or sharing the entire screen. Meta has also made it possible to enjoy video calls in landscape mode for an immersive viewing and sharing experience on your phone.
The new feature was first released for some beta testers on Android in May. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry, you should get it soon. WhatsApp has been continuously updating its platform with new features to make it more than just a basic messaging platform. Last month, it revealed that users will be able to send short video messages directly in chats.
So, if you’re a WhatsApp user, keep your eyes peeled for the new screen-sharing update that’s coming your way soon!
