Meta messaging app, WhatsApp has unveiled its latest feature that offered users the ability to share their screen during video calls.
The new feature is similar to what’s already available via video conferencing services like Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
In a statement that was released on Tuesday, the Meta-owned service says the feature is available via the “Share” icon, after which users have the option of either sharing their entire screen or a specific app. There’s also a new landscape mode coming for video calls on mobile.
The statement also highlights how the feature can be used for “sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation or shopping online with friends, or just helping grandparents with tech support.”
Aside from the new screen-sharing feature, WhatsApp is also adding a landscape interface for video calls on iOS and Android. The service calls this a “wider and more immersive viewing and sharing experience.”
