Overview
Group Calls Are Finally Coming to WhatsApp Web
WhatsApp is working on group voice and video calls for WhatsApp Web, allowing users to start and join calls directly from a browser.
WhatsApp is quietly working on a feature many users have been asking for over the years: voice and video calls for group chats on WhatsApp Web. If it rolls out as planned, users will be able to start or join group calls directly from a browser, without touching their phones or installing the desktop app.
The development was spotted by WABetaInfo, a trusted source that tracks upcoming WhatsApp features by examining beta versions of the app. According to its report, WhatsApp is building support for both group voice calls and group video calls on WhatsApp Web, bringing the browser version closer to what users already enjoy on mobile.
At the moment, WhatsApp Web feels limited. While users can send messages, share files, and even make one-to-one voice and video calls, group calls are still missing. If you want to jump on a group call, you have to reach for your phone or download the WhatsApp desktop app. That gap has frustrated users who rely on WhatsApp Web for work, school, and daily communication.
That is why news of this update spread quickly. For people who spend long hours on laptops, especially in offices or shared workspaces, group calling on WhatsApp Web has been a long-missing piece. Its arrival signals that WhatsApp is finally taking its web platform more seriously.
