This feature can be useful for one-off calls with people you might not know very well, but only with those you’ve shared the link with.

In good news from WhatsApp users, the popular instant messaging application owned by Meta is rolling out a new update for the Windows native app. The instant messaging platform is reportedly rolling out the ability for some beta testers to generate a link to join a call.

“The team is releasing an improvement to WhatsApp calling by bringing a new feature: Call Links. Thanks to this feature, anyone can join a call by opening a link. This is the latest WhatsApp for Windows 2.2307.3.0 update on Microsoft Store Coming to beta,” reported WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp.

As per the report, the new call link option is available within the calls tab, so you will need to open this section of the app to find out whether the feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account or not. If you want to use this feature, you can choose between voice and video call type.

Also, you can copy the link so that you can share it with your WhatsApp chats to invite people to join the call instantly.

Every time you create a new call link, the URL is always unique so no one can join your private call without your approval. The report states that thanks to the Call Link feature, it is easy to invite people to join WhatsApp calls without the need to add them to your contacts.

This feature can be useful for one-off calls with people you might not know very well, but only with those you’ve shared the link with. Furthermore, it is a versatile option as it is possible to share the link externally with other people.

A new call link option has been rolled out for beta testers after installing the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2307.1.0 update available on the Microsoft Store. WABetaInfo said that if you do not see this update on the Microsoft Store, please note that it will be rolled out to more users in the coming days.
