In the new beta channel update, WhatsApp is getting a new button, which allows users to quickly switch between voice call and video callwithout having to hang up the current call.
This change from audio to video can be rejected at any time by the recipient of the call if they wish. The curious thing about the novelty is that the chat app is testing a new feature that will allow you to directly mute a video.
At the moment, this function is being seen in the Android version in the testing phase, so just as it will arrive at the Google's operating system, it will also be present on both iOS and Windows Phone.
