WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform owned by Meta (formerly Facebook), is introducing a new screen-sharing feature for video calls, on the Windows beta version. According to reports from WABetaInfo, beta testers can now share the content of their screen during video calls by selecting the designated option in the video call control panel.
When users activate the screen-sharing feature, they have the choice to share either a specific window or their entire screen with all participants in the video call. Additionally, users can also share their screen content with participants using mobile devices.
Currently, the screen-sharing feature is exclusively available to a limited number of beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta update for Windows. However, it is expected to gradually roll out to more users in the coming days, as per the report.
