In its latest feature for WhatsApp, Meta Platforms has announced that users of the instant messaging service can now share their screens during video calls on the platform.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to Facebook to introduce the screen-sharing feature for WhatsApp. He wrote, “We're adding the ability to share your screen during a video call on WhatsApp.”
In a company release, Meta explained in detail how users can share their screens while on a WhatsApp video call.
“You can initiate screen-sharing by clicking on the ‘Share’ icon and choosing between sharing a specific application or sharing the entire screen,” the tech giant stated.
It also added, “Whether sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation, shopping online with friends, or just helping parents with tech support – sharing the screen lets you share a live view of your screen during the call.”
According to a media report, the new feature is getting rolled out on Android, iOS, and Desktop in a ‘phased’ manner. So, the users may not avail the new facility immediately but they will soon get it.
In the same press statement, meanwhile, Meta also announced a Landscape mode for WhatsApp video conversations.
“You can now also enjoy video calls in Landscape mode for a wider and more immersive viewing and sharing experience on your phone,” it said.
