New Delhi: WhatsApp has recently reported that it is working on the latest features that could let users make voice and video calls within their group chats directly from the web client. According to reports, the company is working to improve its calling functionality to ensure that all group members can participate, regardless of the device they are using. The company has also reported experimenting with the same feature back in April last year, but it was not rolled out as support for group calls on the web version was still in an early stage.
The upcoming upgrade is expected to support group calls on WhatsApp Web with multiple participants, potentially up to 32 users. Reports also noted that WhatsApp may initially limit the number of participants to fewer users, such as eight or 16, before gradually increasing the cap to 32. The goal is to maintain a stable and high-quality call experience without interruptions. WhatsApp for phone has been supporting 32 participants in the group call since 2020.
WhatsApp is also planning to introduce a feature that lets users generate a call link directly from the group chat on WhatsApp Web. This link can be shared with others to join the call instantly, and users will have the option to choose between a voice or a video call. WhatsApp released this feature for Android and iOS users in August 2025. The ability to schedule calls on WhatsApp Web will include a title, description, and estimated start and end times, giving participants clear context and notice. Like the call link, users will need to specify whether a scheduled call is for voice or video. These calls won’t start automatically, but will create an event visible to all participants. This feature was also released for Android and iOS users back in August 2025.
