Overview
- WABetaInfo spotted active development of group voice and video calls for WhatsApp Web to bring the browser experience in line with mobile and desktop apps.
- The web client is being built to generate shareable call links directly from group chats so people can join via a link.
- Scheduling for individual and group calls would let organizers set a name, description, and approximate start and end times, creating an event rather than auto-starting a call.
- Reports indicate support could reach up to 32 participants, with a smaller initial cap such as 8 or 16 likely while WhatsApp refines call quality.
- The capabilities are not available to users or beta testers, and WhatsApp has not confirmed timing or final participant limits.
