How To Share Screen On Whatsapp

Share Screen on WhatsApp on Android

Resembling the functionality found on platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom app, WhatsApp’s screen-sharing feature enables you to share your screen during a casual video call. This allows the other person to view your smartphone or desktop’s screen. Let’s look at how you can share your screen on the app:

Share Screen on WhatsApp on iPhone

Like Android, the process of sharing your screen with others during a WhatsApp video call is pretty straightforward on iOS. Here’s how you can share the screen on WhatsApp on an iPhone.

Share Your Screen on WhatsApp Desktop

WhatsApp also offers desktop apps for Windows and Macs. Once you link your WhatsApp account with the desktop app, you can initiate a video call with your friends and begin screen sharing in just a few clicks. Here’s how it works.

How to Stop Sharing Your Screen on WhatsApp

To send the session, simply tap the Stop sharing screen button and the screen sharing will get terminated. This option is the same for all platforms.

Things to Note When Screen Sharing

Audio from currently playing content will be automatically shared with others on the call. Your camera will continue to capture your face along with the contents of your screen in the video call. Enable DND mode to hide sensitive notifications from appearing during the session. Screen-sharing video calls are also end-to-end encrypted. There is a delay when playing video content while sharing your screen with others. You can change the layout to landscape by rotating your phone.

This is how you can screen share with audio on WhatsApp. It is commendable that they have made the process to start sharing your screen quite simple so that anyone can do it without fidgeting much with their phone. Though I had high hopes for this feature, thinking it might be able to give Apple’s SharePlay a run for its money, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
If you are unable to share the audio, then you might need to update the app to the latest version. What did you think about the screen-sharing feature on WhatsApp? Have you tried it out yet? Let us know in the comments below.
