You may feel isolated in this Covid-19 or Coronavirus crisis And the isolation is spreading all over the world world as a preventive measure to prevent contagion and infection from spreading, all with the mission of not saturating he alth services to provide coverage for everyone. But the work continues. And many times we need to consult doubts, have meetings or socialize in some way in the same way that we would do it in the office, but from the confinement at home.How to solve it? Well, if you have an SME or want to hold small meetings you can directly use WhatsApp
It is not the most recommended method since it does not have the best video calling system available on the Internet. But it is the most accessible The only thing to keep in mind about these conferences is that they can only be a maximum of four people. In other words, you can use it with small work teams or with a very limited group of people. The good thing is that it is as easy and comfortable as starting a phone call. Here's how to use it.
Step by Step
The first thing you should do is have the contacts of the people you want to video call in your phone's contact book. Open the Contacts app and add here any names and phone numbers you want to chat with. This is usually by pressing the + button or the Add Contact buttonRemember that it must be a mobile number with active WhatsApp.
Once you have all the contacts ready, you must go to the WhatsApp application. If you have never spoken with those contacts in the messaging application, you will have to click on the message icon in the lower right corner of the screen to open the entire list of people. First click on the ellipsis in the upper right corner and select the option Update In this way you will renew the list of contacts to ensure that you will find the new additions here .
If you already had a conversation with any of the contacts, you will only have to enter their chat as normal. Here click on the camera icon at the top right of the conversation. The phone icon is for calling, while the camera icon is for video calling.Remember that, for your security, a pop-up message will appear on the screen when confirming the video call. So you will not perform this action freely or by mistake.
This starts the first one-on-one video call. This contact must pick up the phone to start talking and have this meeting remotely. From here you can add two more people by invitation. To do this, you just have to press the + button in the upper right corner and select the members Of course, one by one.
As the call is answered, the screen design changes. WhatsApp video calls are designed to hold the mobile vertically, so you will have to place the phone in this position on a support or against a surface in this way .This will give you a grid with four images and four faces. One will be yours and the rest that of the other members.
WhatsApp video calls have some interesting extra function for managing this activity. From mute microphone so you won't be heard if you're doing something else, to changing the camera, or even canceling sending images. All this by simply clicking on the icons that appear at the bottom of the screen.
Remember that the use of video calls does not imply any type of cost. But keep in mind that they can consume data from your Internet rate if you are not connected or connected to a WiFi network. The quality of the video call, that is, that an image looks more or less pixelated and that the sound arrives with more or less delay, will depend on the connection to Internet.WhatsApp can regulate the visual quality depending on the quality of the signal. It will do this automatically to always give priority to maintaining communication. Even when this implies cutting the video signal emission of one of the members, keeping the audio as far as possible.
