Earlier this year, WhatsApp introduced screen-sharing functionality for video calls, allowing users to share their screens just like Google Meet or Zoom. Now, it seems that WhatsApp is planning to enhance this feature by allowing users to share music audio during a video call while sharing their screen. This new feature, which was spotted in the WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.25.10.72, will enable users to listen to video and music audio simultaneously during screen-sharing sessions. This is expected to enhance interactions on the platform, particularly during presentations and virtual gatherings.
However, it’s important to note that this feature is still in development and has not been rolled out to beta testers yet. Additionally, it will not work with WhatsApp voice calls and will be unavailable in video calls where the video is disabled. WhatsApp’s introduction of screen sharing and landscape mode in video calls earlier this year was aimed at competing with other video-conferencing platforms.
