The moment the recording ends, the video recording will be saved to your photo gallery, ready for viewing. The other way is to swipe up from the bottom of your screen and tap the “recording button” to stop the recording. One is to tap the “Red Bar” on the top of your screen, then you can see a pop-up on your screen and press the “Stop” button to end the recording.

We hope people enjoy private and secure desktop calling with their friends and families. We will be expanding this feature to include group voice and video calls in the future.

We’re starting with one-to-one calls on the WhatsApp desktop app so we make sure we can give you a reliable and high-quality experience. Voice and video calls on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, so WhatsApp can’t hear or see them, whether you call from your phone or your computer. To make desktop calling more useful, we made sure it works seamlessly for both portrait and landscape orientation, appears in a resizable standalone window on your computer screen, and is set to be always on top so you never lose your video chats in a browser tab or stack of open windows. With so many people still apart from their loved ones, and adjusting to new ways of working, we want conversations on WhatsApp to feel as close to in-person as possible, regardless of where you are in the world or the technology you’re using.Īnswering on a bigger screen makes it easier to work with colleagues, see your family more clearly on a bigger canvas or free up your hands to move around a room while talking. Last New Year’s Eve, we broke the record for the most calls ever made in a single day with 1.4 billion voice and video calls. Throughout the last year we’ve seen significant increases in people calling one another on WhatsApp, often for long conversations. We’re excited to announce that private and secure one-to-one voice and video calls are now available on WhatsApp’s desktop app.
