Overview
- WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is building group calling into its browser client, with the feature marked under development and not yet available to general beta users.
- The effort aims to let people join the same group call regardless of device, a boost for users on shared or managed computers where installing apps isn’t feasible.
- Participant limits could ultimately reach 32, though an initial rollout may use lower caps such as 8 or 16 while performance is refined, according to the reports.
- WhatsApp is also working on shareable call links and scheduled calls that include a name, description, and approximate start and end times, plus incoming call notifications.
- Interface tweaks under testing include a dedicated calling button in the web client, and WhatsApp/Meta has not announced a release timeline or confirmed final details.
