WhatsApp implemented the screen sharing function during video calls in the beta version of the Windows application, a functionality that allows users to display specific information or content with contacts who are participating at that time.

The instant messaging platform already introduced this function last May in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, in order to offer a better experience in video calls with a functionality already available on platforms such as Discord or Skype.

WhatsApp also added this function for Windows, so that users can display the content or information on their screen and broadcast it directly during the call, whether the rest of the users are using another computer or mobile phones.

To share content, they must select the screen sharing option enabled for it, which is located within the functions that appear at the bottom of the screen during the video call.

Once selected, users will have to choose between sharing the content of a specific screen or the entire content of their screen. In addition, you can stop sharing the content at any time by clicking the “Stop screen sharing” option, also located at the bottom of the interface.

This feature is part of the beta version 2.2322.1.0 of WhatsApp for Windows, available through the Microsoft Store for all users who want to test this new feature in video calls. However, it is also becoming available to some users with the stable version of the app.

Telegram introduced group video calls to its service with a limit of up to 30 participants, a function that is complemented by the possibility of screen sharing.

Group video calls on the messaging network are started from voice chats, where a new camera-shaped icon was placed. Videos can be fixed, so attendees join in and turn on the camera.

Telegram notes on its blog that group video calls are available to the first 30 people who have joined the voice chat, although it will extend this limit “soon”.

As a complement, it also added the ‘screen sharing’ function and improved the noise suppression in voice chats, which now has a switch that allows you to activate or deactivate this function.

Group video calls are optimized for larger screens, tablets and computers, in such a way that they allow you to see the participants, and the participant list, with different grid options.
