The evolution of the WhatsApp platform is always constant and nothing short of incredible. A transformation that is first revealed in the test phase allowing beta testers to evaluate it and then spread to all users. In this case, the new feature is still in the testing phase but it has already attracted the interest of many users of the platform.

What emerged, in fact, was the functionality that concerns the possibility of being able to share your screen during video calls. Screen sharing will allow users to showcase their professional as well as private content. But that’s not all because this option promises much more.

WhatsApp, screen sharing arrives during calls: waiting among users

Google Play Beta Program has released theupdate number 2.23.11.19 which contains the functionality that allows the user to share the screen during the call. In the tech landscape it is not an absolute novelty given that such option is already available on Skype, Google Meet And Zoom.

For those who are part of the beta testers can already have access to this new feature through the appropriate icon present during a phone call. Once this is activated it will be possible share and record screen with who we are on call.

Being in beta stage, however, there are still some important ones limitations that need to be considered. These are 3:

  • On Android versions too old, this feature may not be available. For anyone who wants to test it, they will need to have a more recent system version;
  • In case of screen sharing in a group with many participants there may be stability problems And performance. In case of calls in a group, we test this new tool with a small circle of people;
  • To have 100% working functionality, both call participants must have the latest version of the platform. This will ensure maximum compatibility and normal, correct execution.

As previously mentioned, this feature is still in beta and will be released gradually. The work of the developers does not end with this feature but, in this period, have put in place a real revolution for privacy. This, however, has divided the users.
