WhatsApp now supports screen sharing in video calls

WhatsApp has added a new feature that allows users to share their screen during video calls

[{"selector":"#anim-06334b54-0420-4920-950c-c0e3d83e2e86 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.07954527216968%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature can be used to share documents, photos, web pages, or any app on your phone or computer with your contacts

[{"selector":"#anim-db094574-06ce-4945-b363-74be709abadf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-48.57954509461286%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Share’ icon at the bottom of the video call screen and choose whether to share your entire screen or a specific app

[{"selector":"#anim-43d3183e-310e-4fc1-8466-0716e6560c36 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

You can also switch between apps while sharing your screen, and the other person will see what you are seeing on your device

[{"selector":"#anim-c47f45e8-e60c-4e8d-9780-6b3dd8caabb8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.78977234475377%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature is available for Android, iOS, and Windows devices, and works with both individual and group video calls

[{"selector":"#anim-61fce71c-2b06-4459-a234-1228a13e960c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(50.568181430001545%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

WhatsApp says the feature is designed to offer a “wider and more immersive viewing and sharing experience” for its users

[{"selector":"#anim-34625d9c-66cf-421c-9e0f-31a6d67ed222 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(43.18181789855786%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature is similar to what other video conferencing services like Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams offer, but with the convenience of WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption and cross-platform compatibility

[{"selector":"#anim-a60f7816-3300-42da-9c2b-f82006a15124 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.93181798733626%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature is part of a wave of new WhatsApp features this year, which include video notes, polls, companion mode, chat lock, and message editing

[{"selector":"#anim-40e8bc51-194f-4d5d-98b5-32e0dad1a6b1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(20.921326971285506%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature was first tested in beta versions of WhatsApp’s app for a couple of months before being officially released

[{"selector":"#anim-747d748e-744b-4d18-91ee-97e4f976ac04 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature was announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook, ahead of the Meta Connect event in September, where the Meta Quest 3 is expected to be unveiled

[{"selector":"#anim-b3ab0696-c801-4787-b945-1fd2186e8407 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-33.79977452153649%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
