It is possible to say that the pandemic left some “legacies”, if we can call it that. During this period, when people could not meet in person, a widely used method to see and keep in touch with friends and family was the video call. Even those who did not like to make this type of call ended up adhering to the mechanism. And after that moment, a lot of news regarding video calls is emerging.

O Whatsapp recently started testing a link-sharing feature for calling family and friends. This feature is inspired by something that is already presented by some competitors of the messenger, such as Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, in order to facilitate the organization of these audio or video chats with multiple people. We could say that sharing the link works as a kind of invitation, where you have all the information such as the time and who will be on the call.
The announcement was made on the profile of Mark Zuckerberg, who also stressed that it will be possible to join calls with just one touch, and greater ease in organizing these calls.
According to him, this new feature brings the possibility of making video calls with up to 32 people simultaneously, in addition to these calls being all encrypted. From now on, people will be able to find an option to create a video link in a call tab. After that, you can share it with friends in conversations and groups. The option to schedule the calls is not yet available, and neither is the option to share the link outside the app in an intelligent way. The link can even be copied and sent outside the app, but it will not have the same ease of access.
Despite being very popular here in Brazil, in other countries around the world, “zap” is not that strong, which reminds us that it will only be possible to access these calls if the person has an account in the application.
This feature had already been announced before, more precisely in April of this year, but it is only being released for testing now. The possibility of making calls with a larger number of people was something expected by users, as this way there is no need to migrate to another application to receive this type of call. This feature is part of a package of news that WhatsApp plans to roll out to Communities. The intention of this package is to make life easier for the application user.
