The latest beta version of the WhatsApp app for Android brings a new feature ideal for enhancing knowledge sharing during video calls. In question, the possibility of sharing the screen.
With the implementation of this feature, WhatsApp puts itself even more abreast of competitors such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. It will be a fundamental option for those who use this service in a professional context and beyond.
WhatsApp now allows screen sharing during video calls
This novelty was reported by the publication WABetainfo. They publicly share the presence of this feature in version 2.23.11.19 of the beta version of Android for Android devices, available through the Play Store.
The big news is the implementation of a new tool that enables screen sharing. When starting a video call, in the lower menu, we have a new option that allows us to start sharing the screen with the participants of that call.
As its name suggests, it will be possible to transmit with our contacts what we are doing on our smartphone. We have a continuous transmission of actions carried out on our equipment, until screen sharing is turned off by the sender.
Experts at WABetainfo advise that there may be some limitations to using this tool. It may not work fully in large groups and, above all, it may not be accessible to older versions of the Android app.
Indeed, for screen sharing to work fully, it is highly recommended that all participants in a call have the latest version of the app. The older ones won’t have all the resources necessary for screen sharing to work properly.
Still in this beta version, the source reports a new alignment for the app menus at the bottom of the screen. The new menu order will now be Conversations, Calls, Communities and States.
It is expected that the news implemented in this beta version of WhatsApp can reach users of the stable channel in the coming weeks. We look forward to indications of its availability on the iOS platform soon.
