Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has launched a web-based calling feature. Now, users will not need to download a separate desktop application to make audio and video calls on their laptop or computer. They will be able to make and receive audio-video calls directly from their web browser. The company says that this new feature will prove very beneficial for users who use college computers or work on laptops where app downloads are not allowed. 4 Special Features in Web Calling Will be able to transfer a running call to another device Along with web calling, WhatsApp has also introduced the ‘Call Transfer’ feature. With the help of this feature, users can shift an active group call from one device to another without disconnecting it.

They will remain in a virtual waiting area and will only be able to join the call after the host approves. 2 New Technical Improvements to Enhance Call Quality To enhance the calling experience and audio-video quality, the company has made two new technical upgrades: According to the company, all these new features are being gradually rolled out to users as part of a global rollout.
