One of the digital interaction platforms that most frequently releases news is, without a doubt, WhatsApp. One of the changes in the app relates to call links. Best of all, this involves sending a link with a video call, like in Meet, Teams, or Zoom, for example.

How do links to WhatsApp calls work?
According to preliminary information, the announcement was made by the head of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg. The news, in fact, came to light at the end of September. Video calls will be encrypted to ensure privacy (WhatsApp brand) and can accommodate up to 32 participants simultaneously.
Meta’s CEO didn’t mention many details about WhatsApp call links. However, some people have reported that the boost has already been made available by the platform.
How do I know if I have the feature and how can I activate it?
If you already have the feature, the “Create Call Link” option will appear in the same common call section as Whatsapp. If it still doesn’t show, you can wait or try updating the app in your phone’s app store.
If you want to create a call link, follow the next steps.
Step 1 – Tap the tab
Step 2 – Tap Create Call Link.
Step 3 – Select the type of call (audio or video).
Step 4 – Tap Share link or Copy link and send on WhatsApp or another app.
Ok, now you have created one of the WhatsApp call shortcuts and you can start a digital meeting via the app. It is worth noting a few points about the function:
- Links expire if not used for 90 days.
- For privacy and security reasons, WhatsApp may revoke links.
- WhatsApp call links are currently only supported on mobile devices.
- They are not the same as group calls.
