hmm still no Linux desktop client? it's been like 3 years

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WhatsApp today introduced screen sharing as its latest feature to enhance the video-calling experience on its platform — taking on traditional video conferencing apps, including Microsoft Meet, Google Meet, Zoom, and Apple’s FaceTime.

The new feature, announced this morning by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg through a Facebook post and on his Instagram channel, will allow you to share your documents, photos, and even your shopping cart with contacts available on video calls.

This is similar to how screen sharing works on typical video-conferencing platforms like Google Meet and Zoom.

WhatsApp told TechCrunch that the screen-sharing feature has started rolling out on Android, iOS, and Windows Desktop in a phased manner.

Screen sharing has been a crucial feature of video-conferencing apps for a while now, including those aimed at consumers.

In 2021, for example, Apple enhanced its FaceTime service with SharePlay, which enabled iOS users to share their screens natively.

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Telegram had this for at least 3 years now.

Facebook really wants everyone's lunch. First Snapchat & Twitter, now Teams/Zoom

Nice feature but just seems greedy

That's nice and all, but where's the native iPad app?

I'll take things to avoid for $1000 Alex.
