WhatsApp Web Finally Gets Support for Audio and Video Calls
Meta said WhatsApp for Web now supports audio and video calls, along with screen-sharing, waiting rooms and faster high-definition streaming.
- On July 28, 2026, Meta launched audio and video calling for WhatsApp, enabling users to communicate directly through their browsers with screen-sharing and reactions support.
- Before this update, WhatsApp supported calls only through the smartphone app or its native desktop software, restricting browser-based communication options for users.
- Users can now transfer active calls between devices without hanging up, while background noise suppression filters out environmental sounds in large spaces during conversations.
- When creating call links, hosts can enable 'Require approval to join' to establish waiting rooms, controlling participant access and managing group call membership.
- Once the username feature launches, WhatsApp will enable cross-platform calling through usernames, building on recent username reservation updates already rolled out to users.
