WhatsApp has announced a significant update to its existing video chat service. The new feature, known as call links, should help people create and join calls in just one tap, as Liverpool Echo reports.
To create direct links to both audio and video calls, users can simply tap the ‘call links’ option within the calls tab, which will then create the shareable link. These can be for scheduled or instant calls to share with friends, family or colleagues.
WhatsApp’s current calling method is similar to phone calls, whereas the new feature will bring it more in line with popular video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The feature will be rolled out this week and should appear in the app when the latest update is downloaded.
