How to hold a WhatsApp conference - in detail?
To successfully host a WhatsApp conference, follow these detailed steps:
-
Preparation:
- Ensure all participants have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on their devices.
- Verify that each participant's phone number is saved in your contacts to facilitate the call setup.
- Inform everyone about the conference time and provide clear instructions on how to join.
-
Starting the Conference:
- Open WhatsApp and tap on the 'Calls' tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on the 'New Call' icon (usually represented by a phone receiver) in the top right corner.
- Select the first participant you want to add to the conference. Once they answer, tap on 'Add Participant' at the top right of your screen.
- Choose the next participant from your contacts list and wait for them to join before adding more people. Repeat this process until all participants are included in the call.
-
Managing the Conference:
- To mute a participant, tap on their name at the top of your screen, then select 'Mute'. This is useful when background noise becomes distracting.
- If needed, you can remove a participant by tapping on their name and selecting 'Remove'. Be aware that this will end the call for them but not for other participants.
- To add more people to an ongoing conference, tap on the 'Add Participant' button at the top right corner of your screen and follow the same steps as before.
-
Ending the Conference:
- When you are ready to end the call, simply tap on the red 'End Call' button at the bottom of your screen. This will hang up for everyone in the conference.
- Alternatively, each participant can leave the call individually by tapping on the red 'End Call' button on their own device without disrupting the rest of the group.
