How to Make Calls in WhatsApp Web
Just like conventional messaging in WhatsApp Web, making voice and video calls requires only that your smartphone is connected to the Internet, via Wi-Fi and mobile data. There is no need to perform any kind of manipulation with your phone when making or receiving calls on the web.
How to Call Over WhatsApp Web
Access WhatsApp Web and open the conversation with the contact you want to call. In the top bar of the interface, next to the contact's name, click on the microphone icon or the camera icon to start a voice or video call, respectively:
A small window will appear indicating the status of the conversation and offering buttons to cancel the audio or stop the call:
In video conferences, a button to remove the video will also appear. Of course, you need to have a webcam installed on your computer in order to properly participate in video calls.
How to Receive Calls in WhatsApp Web
When you receive an audio or video call, a window will appear on the WhatsApp Web screen with the name and photo of the contact. Click Accept to answer the call or Decline to decline the call. There is also the Ignore option where the window disappears and the sound is muted, but the call continues.
