WhatsApp is rolling out group voice and video calling capabilities to its WhatsApp Web client for selected beta testers, according to multiple reports. The feature lets users start group calls directly from a browser, extending earlier web calling support that was introduced earlier in the year. Reported functionality includes the ability to choose which participants join a call, create and share call links, and use a waiting room for managing entry to the session. For video calls, users can also share their screens. The reports state that group calls support up to 32 participants. Like other WhatsApp calls, the group calling feature is described as end-to-end encrypted, meaning the content of calls remains protected. One outlet characterizes the rollout as an expansion of WhatsApp Web capabilities, while another describes it as a testing phase that is expected to broaden to more beta users in the coming weeks. The update’s availability is currently limited to beta participants, with wider release timing not specified across the reports.
