After rolling out the screen share feature, WhatsApp is now working on a feature that will allow users to schedule group calls for both voice and video. This function is similar to what we’ve seen on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and others. WhatsApp users can expect the availability of this feature in the next few weeks.

How to set up a WhatsApp schedule group call
To set up scheduled group calls within your groups on WhatsApp:
- Simply tap the call button.
- You will have the option to pick a call subject and choose the date for the scheduled call.
- Additionally, you can decide whether it will be a video or voice group call.
- After making your choices, tap ‘Send.’ WhatsApp will then dispatch a message to the group.
- An event will automatically be inserted into the group chat when you schedule the group call.
- Those who opt to participate will receive a notification 15 minutes before the call begins.
On the other hand, the platform has recently rolled out the screen share feature on video calls. This indicates that during a WhatsApp video call, you now have the ability to share a real-time view of your screen. The feature has recently been introduced, so it will gradually become accessible to all users. It’s accessible on WhatsApp across mobile devices, desktops, and tablets.
