CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp Web has launched a new feature, which enables its users to make audio and video calls directly from their web browser.
The company says the new feature also supports screen sharing, allowing users to present their screens in real time.
With this new feature introduced, calling becomes more convenient, enabling users to enjoy real-time communication.
The update focuses on one-to-one chats, after which users can place voice or video calls straight from the chat window by simply opening a conversation and clicking the call button.
WhatsApp Web calls are end-to-end encrypted
To the satisfaction of the users and in line with its privacy policy, Meta’s messaging app said that calls made via WhatsApp Web are end-to-end encrypted and secured using the Signal protocol.
This ensures that only the participants can hear or see the conversation, and neither WhatsApp nor Meta can access the content of the calls.
