Making a WhatsApp conference call is a straightforward process that allows you to connect with multiple people simultaneously. Here's a detailed guide on how to set up and join a WhatsApp group call:

  1. Update Your App: Ensure your WhatsApp application is up-to-date. Group calls are supported on the latest versions of both iOS and Android platforms.

  2. Create or Join a Group Chat: To make a conference call, you need to be part of a group chat. If you don’t have one already, create a new group by tapping on the "New Group" icon in WhatsApp. Add the contacts you want to include in your group chat.

  3. Starting a Group Call:

    • Open the group chat where you want to make the call.
    • Tap on the phone icon located at the top right corner of the screen. This icon typically looks like an old-fashioned telephone receiver.
    • You will see a list of participants in the group. Select the contacts you wish to invite to the call by tapping on their names. You can select up to three people for a group video call and up to eight for a voice call.
    • Once you have selected all the desired participants, tap on the phone icon again to start the call.
  4. During the Call:

    • While on the call, you can manage various aspects such as adding new participants or removing existing ones. Tap on the "Add Participant" button at the bottom of your screen to include more people in the ongoing call.
    • To remove a participant, tap on their name at the top of the screen and select the option to remove them from the call.
  5. Ending the Call:

    • When you’re ready to end the call, simply tap on the red "End Call" button located at the bottom of your screen. This will disconnect all participants from the call.
  6. Tips for a Successful Conference Call:

    • Ensure that all participants have a stable internet connection to avoid dropped calls or poor audio quality.
    • Use headphones with a microphone for better sound quality and to reduce background noise.
    • Mute your microphone when you’re not speaking to minimize background distractions.

By following these steps, you can effectively set up and participate in WhatsApp conference calls, making it easier to communicate with multiple people at once.
