WhatsApp enables screen sharing during video calls

Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday announced the latest feature on WhatsApp that enables screen sharing during video calls. The users can initiate screen sharing by clicking on the ‘Share’ Icon and choosing between sharing a specific application or sharing the entire screen. “Whether sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation or shopping online with friends, or just helping grandparents with tech support – screen sharing lets you share a live view of your screen during the call,” the company said in a statement. The WhatsApp users can also enjoy video calls in Landscape mode for a wider and more immersive viewing and sharing experience on smartphones. WhatsApp debuted video calling for all users on the platform in November 2016.
