WhatsApp Video Call Currently Testing;Set To Launch Soon


WhatsApp has just included video call icon as a new feature. It was gathered that the feature is only currently available to users who are part of the company’s official Android beta testing program.

For those on a version of WhatsApp which includes video calling support, you’re able to tap the call button or tap on a contact card to kick off a video call. In this case, a new dialog box will appear, offering the choice between a standard voice call and a video call. In addition, the call log will show which calls were made via video by annotating them with the camera icon, instead of the telephone icon.

For making a video call, users will have to tap on the dialer icon present alongside the search icon. On pressing the dialer icon, users will get an option to either make a WhatsApp voice call or video call. It’s worth noting that feature will work only when the caller and the recipient are part of the Android beta testing program. In case, the recipient is still using an old version of the app (or is not part of the beta testing program) will get a prompt saying “Couldn’t place call” followed by text, “Couldn’t place call. Recipient [name of contact being called] needs to update WhatsApp to receive video calls.”
