In an effort to keep up with the powerful multimedia capabilities of its competitors, the messaging platform WhatsApp has recently announced the roll out of support for HD video calling. This feature will be available to all users shortly, and sets the bar higher yet again for this ever-evolving messaging service.
For many, WhatsApp is a staple of communication in both personal and professional settings. It simplifies the process of connecting with groups of people quickly, no matter the distance. But in recent years, with the proliferation of multimedia and capabilities like video chat, its importance has been highlighted even further.
To keep up with this growing trend, WhatsApp is introducing HD video calling. This feature is already available to many of its competitors, and was one of the most requested from WhatsApp user’s altogether. By adding HD video calling, users can now enjoy a better, clearer experience when video calling their contacts on WhatsApp.
The process for using the feature is as simple as it ever was. All users need to do is open up the chat to the contact or group that you want to call, and then look for the video call option. Users will then be taken to another screen where they can select either HD or Basic video quality.
It goes without saying that HD video is generally the best option when it comes to calling. The sound and video quality will be vastly improved, and will make the experience of using WhatsApp for video calls more enjoyable. HD video support is especially useful for users who want to use the app to speak to multiple people at the same time in a group call. For those times when you need a larger group of people all on the same call, having options like HD video support is a normal and expected hop up for any messaging platform.
WhatsApp’s HD video support hasn’t gone live for everyone yet, but it should roll out for all users within the next few days. If you’re a frequent video caller, this new development should vastly deepen both the personal and professional calls you make over the messaging platform.
