WhatsApp started rolling out a feature that allows users listening to music at the same time as other people using the screen sharing option, which is now available to some beta testers of Android devices.

Screen sharing arrived on the Meta-developed platform in August last year and allows users to share with others what appears on their panel during video calls, such as a video or an application. This is done via the ‘Share’ button, available both on Desktop and in mobile ‘apps’indicates Europe Press.

The company started working on a new capability for this feature, which will allow users to listen to audio or music simultaneously during a video call with the screen sharing option enabled, as announced in December WABetaInfo.

This portal has now discovered that WhatsApp has started implementing this feature in the latest beta for Android 2.24.1.19, which can now be tested if you download this version via Google Play Store.

To access this format, you need to start a conversation and choose the Share screen option. This ensures that the audio played on this user’s device also reaches the rest of the conversation participants or the other conversation partner, in the case of a individual chat.

By WABetaInfo They point out that this feature allows participants to synchronize their video playback experiences by sharing video and audio, which allows them to create a virtual session to watch movies.

Although this is a feature that only beta testers have access, is expected to reach more users with Android devices in the coming weeks. (JO)
