Video calling for WhatsApp Android beta testers

Posted on: 15/Nov/2016 5:47:08 PM
Most Android users who are registered as beta users of WhatsApp will now have video calling as an update. WhatsApp developers are now testing the feasibility of the messaging platform and its servers for face chatting. 

Users can now chat using video, similar to Skype, Hangouts and other such video calling apps. With the new feature enabled only for beta users, WhatsApp is presently testing the data bandwidth and optimising its app for the final release with video for all users. 

If you are beta tester, and you wish to chat with video, search for your contact and hit the call button on the top right corner. After clicking on the button, you will get two options - Voice call and Video call. If the recipient has the beta version too, you can make video calls. Else the app will notify you that the user is having an older version of WhatsApp and does not support video calls.
