In a recent blog post, WhatsApp introduced private and secure calling from the desktop, this means you can now make those end-to-end encrypted video and voice calls from WhatsApp Desktop client.
Answering on a bigger screen makes it easier to work with colleagues, see your family more clearly on a bigger canvas, or free up your hands to move around a room while talking. To make desktop calling more useful, we made sure it works seamlessly for both portrait and landscape orientation appears in a resizable standalone window on your computer screen and is set to be always on top so you never lose your video chats in a browser tab or stack of open windows.
WhatsApp explained that it chose to start with one-to-one calls on desktop in order to ensure it delivers “a reliable, high-quality experience” before expanding the feature to include group voice and video calls.
