WhatsApp Now Lets You Add up to 32 People on a Video Call and Share Screen With Audio

WhatsApp is a popular instant messaging app with over 500 million active users in India. The app is constantly adding features to enhance the users' experience. WhatsApp is used not only for personal but also for professional purposes.

Since the Meta-owned instant messaging platform introduced the calling feature back in 2015, they have continued to improve it by adding group calls, video calls and multi-platform support. Now, the app has announced a few new updates to improve the calling feature.

Users can now share their screen with audio, making it perfect for watching videos together. You can add up to 32 people on a video call. Another feature is the speaker spotlight, which will highlight the speaker automatically, making them more prominent on the screen. The updates will be available to all users over the coming weeks.

In the same, the messaging app recently launched MLow codec to improve call reliability. Calls on mobile devices now benefit from enhanced noise and echo cancellation, making easy conversation in noisy environments. Video calls have higher resolution for users with faster connections. Audio is crisper, even with poor network connectivity or older devices.

Moreover, the instant messaging app is working on bringing a feature to manage stickers which will allow you to easily find and send stickers related to specific emojis by displaying a new sticker tray above the keyboard. The feature is now under development and is expected to roll out in a future update.
