As WABetaInfo reports, this feature is currently only available to some users of the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.11.19 update. For those who have access to the feature in testing, the prompt to share your screen shows up at the bottom of your screen, among the buttons in the call control panel. The report also notes that it may not work in large group calls, and may not be available if you or the video call recipient is running older versions of Android or WhatsApp. [Image: Nyoman Suartawan / Pixabay.]Before you actually transmit what’s on your screen to the other end of the WhatsApp video call, the app will confirm that the recipient will see everything you do on screen. And if you decide halfway through the call you don’t need your screen shared to the other person anymore, you can stop the screen sharing at any time. Pretty standard stuff for this kind of feature, if you’re familiar with other messaging and voice call apps like Discord that already has the feature. The report also notes that this is being rolled out “to more users over the coming weeks”, though it’s unclear if this means those using the beta or the full release. All things considered, it’s most likely the former, and no doubt WhatsApp will be making an official announcement when this, and a few of the other recently discovered features, make it to the general user base.
