WhatsApp will soon allow voice and video calls from web client

WhatsApp is reportedly testing voice and video calling options for web users that will allow them to make voice and video calls directly from the WhatsApp web client. The feature is part of the latest beta version of WhatsApp web. Currently WhatsApp does not allow users to place direct calls (voice or video) on a web client, but this new calling option on the web is expected to roll out more widely in the coming weeks.

This development is part of WhatsApp's broader strategy to improve user experience across all platforms. The company has also introduced features such as selecting specific participants in group calls, adding fun effects to video calls, and enhancing call access on the desktop app. These updates aim to make connecting with both loved ones and businesses easier than ever.

The integration of voice and video calls into the web client will enable users to communicate seamlessly across devices, without the need for separate app downloads or installations. This move underscores WhatsApp's commitment to providing a comprehensive and user-friendly communication experience.

As of now, the feature is being rolled out to select users, with plans for broader availability in the near future. Once fully implemented, users will be able to make voice and video calls directly from their web browsers, enhancing the versatility and accessibility of WhatsApp's communication tools.
