In Response to the Zoom, WhatsApp Will Offer a Desktop Video Call Feature

SAN FRANCISCO: Zoom software has been used extensively around the world in the wake of Code 19 this year, and with that popularity, Facebook has begun considering audio and video calls in the desktop version of its subsidiary WhatsApp. It is expected to be introduced early next year.Talking to Reuters, a WhatsApp official said that the desktop version of WhatsApp will be offered with more features than the big companies like Google Mate and Zoom, which will increase the duration of video calls and Participants' value will include better and bigger photos. However, WhatsApp is still ahead of Zoom and Google Mate in that it has the facility of individual call, message and video call. WhatsApp has also admitted that it has been working on a desktop feature like Zoom for a long time and now some users have been given this feature. With this feature, WhatsApp can be connected to the desktop and used experimentally.It should be noted that the second or third phase of the corona virus epidemic which started in January this year is going on somewhere. People are confined to their homes and software such as Zoom has become an alternative to online teaching, meetings and important business gatherings.As of the same news, a few days ago, Zoom announced that it is removing the 40-minute limit for users using the free service in the run-up to the Christmas and holidays. Some analysts have said that WhatsApp could attract Zoom's market and users, and Zoom has relaxed its policies in this context. However, it is expected that Zoom Video Conference will offer more convenience and innovation.
