That said, to run this app you need to make sure your smartphone is synced to the app, which is why the device needs to be on and share the same web connection to enjoy. With this tool, you can send multimedia content, create and manage groups, save conversations, make changes to your profile, and even take photos with your computer's built-in camera. Similarly, you can turn on or turn off the camera when you are on a video call. During the call, you can mute or unmute yourself by clicking on the microphone icon. Step 2: Click the Video or Audio call option on the top right corner of the screen. Once that's done, all conversations and contacts on your WhatsApp will be synced so you can talk to them from your Mac just like you would on your smartphone. Step 1: Open the chat of the person to whom you want to make a call. Just like in the web version, you need to sync your mobile client with the program using a QR code (you need to scan it and follow the instructions featured in WhatsApp Desktop's main interface). WhatsApp has been updated on macOS to bring support for video and audio calls on desktop, making it one of the best messaging apps on Mac. Sadly, the feature doesnt support group calling yet.

Luckily, there's a new official version that, despite being based on WhatsApp's web app, lets you use it directly as if it was just another app, without the need to open a browser. WhatsApp for macOS now supports video and audio calls. Although there is a way to enjoy your favorite chat app right from your Mac, WhatsApp Web's biggest drawback is that you can only use it from a web browser.
