WhatsApp will soon roll out a new “Call Link” feature to improve the user experience by allowing them to create a voice or video call link and share it with desired contacts. As soon as someone opens the link, they will be added to the on-going call.
To check availability of the feature, head to the Calls tab and look for the Call Links feature at the top. If a user clicks on the option, a link will automatically be generated. Users can also choose the call type - audio or video.
Below that, users will get three options: Send a link via WhatsApp, Copy Link, and Share the Link. Once a user clicks on the link, there will be two options - Join and Leave. Users will continue to get the option to mute audio and hide video during a video call.
Users are free to share the link on any platform, they can email someone, Twitter DM and on other platforms. Each unique WhatsApp Call Link stays active for a span of 90 days from the date of creation.
Currently, WhatsApp allows users to add up to 32 members in a group call. However, it is recently reported that the Meta-owned platform would soon allow users to add up to 1024 members. Once the feature rolls out, Call Links will become more useful.
