WhatsApp introduced two new features for video calls on Tuesday: screen sharing and landscape mode. The new features were announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook and Instagram. They are currently available to beta testers on Android and will be rolled out to everyone in the coming weeks.
To use screen sharing, users simply need to tap on the Share icon during a video call. They can then choose to share a specific app or their entire screen. To initiate screen sharing on WhatsApp, users can click on the ‘Share’ icon and choose between sharing a specific app and sharing the entire screen.
A more detailed explanation of the steps you follow:
Open WhatsApp and start a video call with the person you want to share your screen with.
A menu will appear with two options: Share a specific app and Share my entire screen.
If you want to share a specific app, select it from the menu.
If you want to share your entire screen, tap on Share my entire screen.
WhatsApp will start sharing your screen with the other person.
You can stop screen sharing at any time by tapping on the Stop Sharing icon at the bottom of the screen.
Screen sharing on WhatsApp works similarly to other video conferencing platforms.
Here is a more detailed on features:
Screen sharing:
This feature allows users to share their screen with contacts on video calls, so they can collaborate on documents, view photos, or even show their shopping cart. It works similarly to screen sharing on other video conferencing platforms, such as Zoom and Google Meet.
Landscape mode:
This feature allows users to rotate their phone to landscape orientation during a video call. It can be helpful for screen sharing or group calls.
