WhatsApp now has video calling Feature

Yantragyan

WhatsApp has now officially launched video calling, and the feature is now being rolled out to Android, iPhone, and Windows users. Updated WhatsApp with support for video calling for Android and iPhone has officially been released, so you simply need to update the feature to make your first video call. If your iOS or Android device is not set to receive automatic updates, or if you are not sure if WhatsApp has been updated, simply go to the App Store or Google Play and check for available updates.
If you don’t see the video calling option, or if WhatsApp video calling is not working, or if WhatsApp video calls are giving you an error, you could download the WhatsApp beta version APK to see if things work any better.
Note that we advice that you wait for the WhatsApp video calling feature to show up on your phone, since that also helps the server load manageable.
“We’re introducing this feature because we know that sometimes voice and text just aren’t enough. There’s no substitute for watching your grandchild take her first steps, or seeing your daughter’s face while she’s studying abroad.” said Whatsapp in it’s blog
This comes with support for WhatsApp video calls and other new features – to make your first WhatsApp video call, follow the steps indicated below
How to make a WhatsApp video call
If you are now running the latest WhatsApp beta – or if the video calling feature is available to you after launch – it’s pretty simply to start a video call with another WhatsApp user.
Here’s how to make a video call within WhatsApp:
Open WhatsApp (of course!)
Go to the Contacts tab
Find and tap the contact you want to initiate a WhatsApp video call with
Tap on the phone icon towards the top of the screen
From the popup choose Video call
That’s it – you’ve just made your first WhatsApp video call!
Note that for WhatsApp video calling to work, both parties should be running a WhatsApp build that supports the feature. WhatsApp may also prompt you for feedback once the video call is over.The new video calling has been reported to work good in slow networks as well. This is keeping in mind countries with slow internet network.
