WhatsApp New Feature: Make WhatsApp calls directly from the browser—no app download needed; video calls also supported..

WhatsApp, the instant messaging app owned by Meta, has introduced a web-based calling feature for its users. The company announced that users can now make audio and video calls directly from their browsers without needing to download any desktop application. This means you can utilize this service on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop without the need to download the app.

In a blog post, the company stated that this feature is part of a series of updates designed to enhance the experience of transferring calls between devices. WhatsApp's web calling feature supports both individual and group calls. Additionally, users can access features such as screen sharing, reactions, and a dedicated call tab for call history and favorite contacts.

**Where the service is useful**
The company noted that whether you are a student studying on a shared computer, an office worker using a laptop where app downloads are restricted, or simply someone who prefers using a browser, you can now easily make calls without leaving the browser. You do not need to download the app or use your mobile phone for this purpose. The feature supports both audio and video calls.

**Call transfer facility**
WhatsApp has also introduced a call transfer feature. This allows users to seamlessly transfer an ongoing group call from one device to another without disconnecting. To strengthen the security and management of group calls, WhatsApp has introduced a 'waiting room' feature. Users are placed in a virtual waiting area, and the host admits them to the call upon granting permission.

**Reducing background noise**
WhatsApp has also implemented two technical upgrades to improve call quality. The 'QuickHD' feature delivers high-quality video as soon as the call begins, while the 'Noise Suppression' feature reduces background noise, resulting in clearer audio. WhatsApp stated that all these new features are being rolled out to users in a phased manner. This will make video and audio calling easier and better.
