This upcoming functionality has the sole purpose of minimizing communication gap between mobile and website and this reduces the need of making calls through phone. ## Highlights: - WhatsApp Web will soon support voice and video calls on desktop platforms. - The update will be available for both Windows and [macOS](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/337515/discuss-the-security-features-of-mac-os-and-microsoft-os) users. - The feature aims to create a seamless communication experience across devices. - Users can expect the same end-to-end encryption for web calls. - This is part of WhatsApp's broader desktop enhancement initiative. WhatsApp Web has been a boon for [instant messaging](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167313/importance-of-instant-messaging-for-business-collaboration) in this regard for quite some time but it uses the fundamental mode of communication such as voice and video calls. That’s about to change. In the next version, it has finally become possible to make outbound and [receive calls](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/108803/what-if-your-smartphone-won-t-receive-calls) while in front of the PC. Such a move is expected to target the [business executives](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/105110/how-to-select-the-right-mobile-device-for-business-executives) and workers who require the use of the desktop applications in their operations. This update is significant and takes WhatsApp Web one step closer to being a full-fledged communication platform. Rather than going back and forth, from one device to another, users can continue to engage all over the browser or the [desktop application](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/23041/i-want-to-devlop-a-desktop-application-in-dot-net-like-aura-reader-for-astrologer). Voice and video calls will probably be added to the familiar interface since this would address existing users’ familiarity with the functioning of an application like [Skype](https://www.mindstick.com/news/4384/microsoft-to-discontinue-skype-services-by-may-this-year-report). It is an unveiled plan to take on Zoom, Teams, and [Google Meet](https://www.mindstick.com/news/4361/google-meet-s-gemini-now-offers-next-steps-suggestions-after-meetings) in [social interactions](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114413/how-is-the-metaverse-influencing-social-interactions-and-digital-economies) environments. Security is always an issue of concern which WhatsApp has sought to reassure users that calls through the WhatsApp Web will be encrypted in a similar way to when using a [mobile device](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/198564/why-your-mobile-device-is-the-best-travel-gadget-to-pack). This is particularly important in current society where people are always concerned with the data that they input into their devices, especially if they are using it with others with workplace devices. The new features are to be made gradually thus users should expect to receive the update soon depending on region and OS. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/4504/whatsapp-web-to-soon-support-voice-and-video-calls-on-windows-and-macos Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
