Note: To get the video call option you need to uninstall and re install the WhatsApp beta.

Currently the people who can enjoy the video call is the people having Front Camera, people without a Front Camera will have the option disabled in the call menu, atleast for me since my mobile does not carry a Front Camera.We need to wait and see if it disable for all or people without Front Camera.

The update is currently live and if you haven’t yet taken then you can do so by clicking on the below link.

Do let us  know if any of our readers have been successful in making a video call.
