WhatsApp Web Reportedly to Add Group Voice and Video Calls

WABetaInfo says the browser client’s calling upgrade is unconfirmed, still in development.

Overview

  • The web client is being built to let all members join group calls regardless of device, bringing the browser experience closer to the mobile and desktop apps.
  • Early development points to participant limits that could start at 8 or 16 users, with support potentially expanding to 32.
  • Shareable call links created directly from group chats are in progress to simplify inviting people to a session.
  • Scheduling is planned for one-to-one and group calls with a name, description, and approximate start and end times.
  • The features are not available for beta testing, and details such as rollout timing and caps remain subject to WhatsApp’s confirmation.
