WhatsApp has recently announced several updates to its calling service, including the ability to make video calls with up to 32 participants on all devices. These enhancements, such as screen sharing with audio and featured speaker mode, are aimed at improving the overall calling experience for users. According to WhatsApp, these features will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
Since the launch of WhatsApp calling in 2015, the messaging network has consistently improved this feature by adding group calling, cross-platform support and now video calls with up to 32 participants. The latest updates aim to further enhance calling capabilities on all devices.
Screen sharing with audio is an excellent feature for watching videos together while sharing audio. The featured speaker mode makes it easier for participants to follow the conversation by highlighting the person speaking during a call. With these new updates, users can now make video calls with up to 32 participants on all devices – a significant improvement from previous limits on mobile devices. Additionally, WhatsApp is working on improving audio and video quality for clearer calls regardless of network connectivity or device age.
To ensure high-quality private calls in any location, WhatsApp has recently introduced MLow codec which improves call reliability by reducing interference from noise and echo in noisy environments and enabling higher resolution video calls on faster connections. Users can expect more improvements in the future as WhatsApp continues to prioritize call quality and user experience.
