WhatsApp is taking a new step and getting closer to professional communication platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. Indeed, the application could soon welcome a new feature that can make video calls more convenient. After screen sharing, the deployment of which continues, users should in particular be able to schedule calls.

Soon scheduled calls on WhatsApp

The feature was spotted by the Wabetainfo site, which is often well informed about WhatsApp updates. In one of its recent articles, the site actually states that call scheduling is currently being tested. The function was reportedly spotted in beta testers who saw an option to schedule calls from chat groups.

By clicking on it, users therefore had access to an interface allowing them to select a date, a time and to define the subject of the call. Wabetainfo also specifies that the planned call will be notified in the group and interested members will then have the opportunity to join the activity. Additionally, the feature is said to have been programmed to send reminders to participants 15 minutes before the call starts.

A feature that complements another

Added to screen sharing, call scheduling could turn WhatsApp into a truly suitable application for business communication. As a reminder, screen sharing allows the participants of a video call to make the contents of their screens visible to the other interlocutors. Thus, WhatsApp could become more efficient for meetings between colleagues, for teleworking and even for complex exchanges between friends.

Finally, it should be noted that only Wabetainfo has mentioned the existence of such a feature for the moment. However, it is very likely that we will hear about it officially in the coming weeks.
