WhatsApp Begins Beta Testing Screen Sharing Feature for Video Calls
WhatsApp has begun beta testing a screen sharing feature for video calls on Android. The feature is currently available to a limited number of users, but it is expected to be rolled out to everyone in the coming weeks.
To use the screen sharing feature, open a video call and tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. Then, select "Share Screen." You will be prompted to allow WhatsApp to access your screen. Once you have granted permission, your screen will be shared with the other participants in the call.
You can share your entire screen or just a specific window. To share a specific window, click on the "Select Window" button and choose the window you want to share.
The screen sharing feature is a great way to collaborate with others or to provide technical support. For example, you could use the feature to show someone how to use a new app or to help them troubleshoot a problem with their computer.
Here are some of the things you can do with the screen sharing feature:
- Collaborate with others on a project.
- Provide technical support to friends or family.
- Give a presentation to a group of people.
- Play a game with friends.
- Watch a movie together.
The screen sharing feature is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. If you are an active WhatsApp user, I encourage you to try it out.
How it works
The screen sharing feature works by using the Android's native screen casting feature. When you tap on the "Share Screen" button, WhatsApp will prompt you to allow the app to access your screen. Once you have granted permission, your screen will be shared with the other participants in the call.
You can share your entire screen or just a specific window. To share a specific window, click on the "Select Window" button and choose the window you want to share.
The screen sharing feature is limited to 480p resolution. This is because the feature is still in beta testing. It is possible that the resolution limit will be increased in the future.
Limitations
The screen sharing feature has a few limitations. First, it is only available on Android devices. Second, it is only available in the beta version of WhatsApp. Third, the resolution of the shared screen is limited to 480p.
Despite these limitations, the screen sharing feature is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. If you are an active WhatsApp user, I encourage you to try it out.
