Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, has unveiled a new feature on WhatsApp that enables users to screen-share during video calls.

AT3 Resources, the consulting firm overseeing Meta’s operations in Nigeria, reported that Zuckerberg shared the news on his Facebook page. The latest update empowers users to engage in real-time screen sharing while conversing.

Meta explained that users can activate this feature by clicking the designated ‘Share’ icon, offering the choice to share a specific application or their entire screen. This capability opens up a range of possibilities, from collaborating on work-related documents to browsing through family photos, planning trips, shopping online with friends, or providing technical assistance to grandparents.

Screen sharing enhances calls by allowing users to offer a live view of their screen content, adding a dynamic dimension to conversations. This feature is valuable for both personal and professional scenarios.

It’s worth noting that WhatsApp initially introduced video calling for its users back in November 2016.
