How to Share Your Screen During WhatsApp Video Calls – New Feature Now Available

The popular instant messaging application WhatsApp has released two new video calling features on its platform – Screen Share and Landscape mode. According to the Meta-owned platform, this new feature will soon be available on iPhones, Android smartphones and the Windows platform. It is expected to come to all users in the coming days.

“We’re adding the ability to share your screen during a video call on WhatsApp. You can now also enjoy video calls in landscape mode for a wider and more immersive viewing and sharing experience on your phone,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook.

Screen sharing allows users to share a live view of their screen during a call. The feature can be launched by clicking on the ‘share’ icon and choosing to share a specific app or share the entire screen. This feature allows users to share documents, photos and videos with available contacts in video calls.

“Whether you’re sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation or shopping online with friends, or just helping out grandparents with tech support, screen sharing lets you share a live view of your screen during a call,” the company said.

Here’s how to use the screen sharing feature on WhatsApp:

– Open WhatsApp on your device.

– Start a video call with someone

– While on a call, tap or click the Share icon.

– Click the Share icon to start sharing your screen.

– Grant screen sharing permission when requested.

– Choose to share a specific app or the entire screen

WhatsApp’s screen sharing feature was first discovered and shared by WABetaInfo, a platform that previews upcoming WhatsApp features before their general release.

WhatsApp has introduced landscape mode for video calls, allowing users to participate in video calls in landscape orientation. This feature provides a more expansive and immersive viewing and sharing experience on mobile phones.
