  WhatsApp launches video calling November 15, 2016 - 10:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - WhatsApp has introduced a number of new features in recent months but perhaps the most eagerly awaited has been video calling. Some users briefly flirted with video calls back in May but it took until October before a wider set of Android device owners could get involved. Now, the Facebook-owned company is ready to unleash video calls on everybody and in the coming days will roll out the feature to iOS, Android and Windows devices, Engadget reports. When the feature is activated, open a chat and select the phone icon. You'll then be given an option to place a voice or video call. When testing the feature, voice and video quality turned out to be excellent over strong WiFi, but your mileage may vary if you're connecting via a mobile or slower broadband connection. With over one billion users, WhatsApp's video calls can connect people all over the world, regardless of their choice of mobile operating system, allowing it stay ahead of apps like Google's Allo.
