WhatsApp has released a new feature in order to make screen sharing easier during video calls. The most recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.11.19 update on the Google Play Store is now rolling out this new feature to beta testers who have installed it.
Everything About WhatsApp’s Screen Sharing Feature!
Users who have the new screen-sharing function during video conversations can share their screens with other participants, according to a WaBetaInfo article, enabling real-time material collaboration. By giving their permission, users can start the screen-sharing procedure, allowing the receiver to view and interact with everything that is on their screen. This function works similarly to Microsoft Teams or Zoom calls.
Users have full control over the screen-sharing process, according to the WABetainfo article. Users have complete authority over the shared information and may quickly revoke permission to send their screen content at any moment during the call, ensuring their privacy.
Despite the fact that the feature seems intriguing and gives WhatsApp a new degree of simplicity, there are a number of constraints to be aware of. Incompatible Android versions may prevent screen sharing. Long group calls could potentially cause it to malfunction. Furthermore, those who are still utilizing an older version of WhatsApp may find it difficult to access the shared screen content. For users to fully benefit from this feature, their smartphones must be updated, and they must make sure they are running the most recent version of WhatsApp.
The social media platform has added the screens sharing feature and made a few small layout changes for users who received the beta update. The tab order in the navigation bar has been changed to reflect a new arrangement for Chats, Communities, Calls, and Status. Beta testers are presently receiving WhatsApp’s new screen-sharing functionality and the reorganized bottom navigation bar; the firm intends to make these features available to more users in the upcoming weeks.
