WhatsApp Introduces Call Scheduling Feature Inspired by Google Meet and Microsoft Teams
WhatsApp has introduced a new call scheduling feature allowing users to schedule audio and video calls. This upgrade includes the functionality of the Google meet and Microsoft Teams features, bringing the platform to a more structured user-friendly digital communication.
Highlights:
- Users can schedule calls for a future date and time.
- Automated reminders are sent to participants.
- The feature supports both group and individual calls.
- A unique link is generated for easy call joining.
- All scheduled calls are listed in a dedicated tab.
The feature of call scheduling can be reached through the attachment menu in any chat. Users pick a time, date and may use a note to make the scheduled event. This removes the necessity to coordinate messages to schedule a call.
This feature of scheduling calls improves the usefulness of WhatsApp to be used as a form of professional and scheduled personal use. It sets provisions on the use of the platform to organize meetings virtually. The update is a response to one of the main differences between WhatsApp and rival enterprise services.
The advantage of this call scheduling functionality is well-arranged communication. It makes sure that all participants are informed and can dial into a call at the designated time. This comes in handy when organizing the meeting with the groups in various time zones or pre-scheduled family discussions.
