WhatsApp improves calling and video calling

WhatsApp is improving its calling function and expanding its offering. In addition to higher quality, there will also be additional, new functions.

How does that concrete look?

The Whatsapp-Developers have just introduced the so-called MLow codec. It ensures that calls work more reliably. In addition, background noise and echoes are suppressed better.

Those who call via video also have a higher resolution and the audio quality is better overall – even if you are currently using a poor network or an old smartphones have.

Video calls with up to 32 participants

And: From now on, WhatsApp users can not only share a video during a video call, but also the associated audio.

How does it work? Via the “Share screen” option in the call – then select the window in which the video you want to share is playing. This new function is perfect if you want to watch videos together.

Here you will find content from Twitter

In order to interact with or display content from Twitter and other social networks, we need your consent.

Not only that: Now up to 32 people can participate in a single video call on all devices. It could be easy to lose track. That is why a new function Whoever is speaking is highlighted and shown first.
