WhatsApp Video Call: WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging app in the world. The company keeps bringing new features for its users from time to time, which are very useful for them. These features include running WhatsApp from two numbers on one phone, running the same WhatsApp account on two phones, pinning important messages at the top, running polls and quizzes, sharing screen on video calls, etc. Today we tell you how to share screen during video call on WhatsApp.
What is the screen share feature?
If you use video calling apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, then you will know that screen sharing is possible in them. The same feature is also available in WhatsApp video calls. This feature also works in WhatsApp apps running on Android, iPhone and computer.
From giving an office presentation to teaching someone something, this feature can be very useful in many situations. While sharing the screen, WhatsApp takes care that your information remains completely secure.
