WhatsApp has just unveiled an exciting new addition to its feature lineup – the ability to share your screen during video calls. This move puts WhatsApp in direct competition with well-established video conferencing services like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. This feature, now available for Android, iOS, and Windows users, allows you to share either your entire screen or a specific app with your contacts during video calls.

This announcement comes as part of Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance the functionality of WhatsApp and provide users with more ways to communicate and collaborate. The new screen-sharing feature can be accessed by tapping the "Share" icon during a video call, providing a versatile way to showcase documents, browse photos, or even shop online with friends. Additionally, Meta has introduced a landscape mode for video calls on mobile devices, offering a wider and more immersive viewing experience for users.

While screen sharing in video calls isn't a groundbreaking concept, WhatsApp's integration of this feature into its platform further solidifies its commitment to remaining a leading player in the world of digital communication. As messaging apps continue to evolve, the ability to seamlessly share screens adds a new layer of utility and flexibility, catering to both personal and professional communication needs.
