How to make WhatsApp voice and video calls from PC

WhatsApp call on PC via the desktop app

This is the official approach. The company has rolled out the voice and video call feature to its nearly five-year old desktop app. Before we get down to how to make calls using the WhatsApp desktop app, here’s what you need to know. The app only supports one-on-one end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling for now. The group WhatsApp voice and video calling feature for the desktop will be added in the future, as per reports. Additionally, make sure that the WhatsApp desktop app for voice and video calls meets the system requirements.

WhatsApp call on PC: system requirements

  • Laptop/ PC running Windows 10 64-bit version 1903 and newer or macOS 10.13 or newer
  • A camera for video calls
  • Microphone and audio output like speakers

How to make voice calls using the WhatsApp desktop app

WhatsApp call on PC
  • Download and install the WhatsApp desktop app on Windows laptop/ PC or Mac, if you haven’t
  • After this, open the app and scan the QR code using your smartphone. Fret not, you’ll not be logged out from the WhatsApp account on your mobile phone
  • If you don’t know how to scan QR codes? Fire up WhatsApp on your mobile phone –> tap on the three-dot icon in the top right corner –> select WhatsApp Web (iOS users, go to ‘Settings’). Point your phone’s camera to the desktop screen to scan the QR code

  • Your call will be placed

Remember you can only call one WhatsApp contact at a time. A small window, indicating the call status, will pop-up on your screen. You can drag around the window anywhere on the screen and use its options to disconnect the call, switch a call from video to voice or vice versa, and adjust settings. The chat feature will remain active even when you’re on call.

To recall, the group voice and video call feature via the WhatsApp desktop app isn’t available yet. It doesn’t matter whether your mobile number has an active plan or not. As long as both your phone and desktop are connected to active internet, you’ll be able to make/ receive WhatsApp voice and video calls using a Windows laptop or PC and Apple’s mac.
