The feature is currently in beta testing so it will take a few weeks before being rolled out for all. Users will also get incoming call notifications on WhatsApp’s desktop app in a separate window as shown in the screenshots below. There will be a dedicated calling tab in WhatsApp’s desktop app from where users will be able to call their friends or family.Ī separate window will also pop-up when a call is made with all the controls. The feature will allow users to make calls to their contacts on WhatsApp right from their laptop or PC provided it has a microphone and camera. WhatsApp has slowly started rolling out voice and video calls via its desktop app to some users. This is about to change soon as WhatsApp is testing the ability to make and receive voice/video calls via its Mac and Windows app. WhatsApp, however, only offers voice and video calling via its mobile apps.
WhatsApp lags behind the likes of FaceTime, Messenger, and other messaging services which offer voice and video calling via their desktop apps.
