According to a new report, the feature is currently under development and is expected to offer functionality similar to what users already get on mobile apps and desktop clients. Group Calling on WhatsApp Web Could Arrive Soon As per a report by WABetainfo, WhatsApp appears to be focusing on improving the overall web experience to bring it closer to feature parity with other platforms. The addition of group voice and video calls would make WhatsApp Web more comparable to dedicated conferencing tools such as Zoom and Google Meet.

(Screenshot by @WABetaInfo on X) The report notes that WhatsApp may limit the number of participants to 32, similar to the mobile version. However, it is also suggested that the feature could initially roll out with a lower cap of 8 or 16 participants to ensure better stability. At this point, the exact participant limit has not been confirmed by WhatsApp. The aim of this update is said to be greater flexibility, especially for users who rely on shared systems or frequently switch between multiple devices. With group calling on the web, users would be able to stay connected and manage conversations more efficiently, regardless of the platform they are using.

WhatsApp is developing group call support for the web client, allowing all users to participate in calls regardless of the device they are using.https://t.co/EdlTwX6Iqy pic.twitter.com/YcivbWwUZ4 — WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) January 19, 2026 Call Links Could Make Joining Group Calls Easier Group calls on the web are also expected to be accompanied by additional features including the ability to create call links directly from group chats. This would allow users to generate shareable links that others can use to join a call, even if they are not currently active in the chat. Such call links could simplify organising and joining group calls, particularly for larger groups, by removing the need for all participants to be present in the chat at the same time. Call Scheduling Also In The Works In addition to group calling and call links, WhatsApp is reportedly developing a call scheduling feature for both individual and group chats. This feature would allow users to set a call name, description, and approximate start and end times in advance. According to the report, scheduling a call will not trigger it automatically. Instead, WhatsApp Web may create an event that can be shared with participants, ensuring everyone is informed ahead of time. Users may also be able to choose whether the scheduled call is for voice or video, making it easier to plan meetings or events in advance. Launch Timeline All of these features including group calling, call links, and call scheduling are still said to be under development. As of now, all we know is that these features could roll out in the near future. Although WhatsApp has not officially confirmed that these features are being worked on. FAQs Q1.
