   • On your mobile device, open WhatsApp and go to Settings (or More options for Android users).
   • Select 'Linked Devices' or 'WhatsApp Web/Desktop'.
   • Point your phone’s camera at the QR code displayed on your computer screen. Your devices will be linked once the code is successfully scanned.

5. Answer a Call:

   • Click on the 'Accept' button to answer the call. If you wish to decline the call, click on the 'Decline' button.
   • During the call, you can use your computer’s microphone and speakers for audio communication. Alternatively, you can use a headset connected to your computer for better sound quality.

6. Video Calls:

   • If the call is a video call, you will see an option to turn on your camera. Click on this option to enable video, allowing both parties to see each other during the call.
   • Ensure that your webcam and microphone are functioning correctly before joining a video call.

7. Additional Features:

   • You can also use the mute button to turn off your audio during the call or the camera button to turn off your video feed.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly answer WhatsApp calls through your computer, making it more convenient for longer conversations or when you prefer using a larger screen and keyboard for communication.
