When I make a video WhatsApp call I seem to be stuck at "normal". How can I change the video to wide-angle or telephoto during my call?

I'm using a Pixel 7 Pro.

you should be able to switch between cameras during a WhatsApp video call by tapping the camera icon in the top right corner. If it's not switching, try restarting the app or ensuring your camera permissions are properly enabled.

Hi,

You should be able to change the video mode by pressing the option to switch from rear and front camera.

What I meant was, while using the front-facing camera I could not change from portrait to landscape mode.

I think the solution to this was to begin the WhatsApp call with the camera in the landscape mode.
