3. Select the Contact:

   • Once logged into WhatsApp Web, you will see a list of your recent chats and contacts.
   • Click on the contact you wish to call. This will open the chat window for that specific contact.

4. Initiate the Call:

   • In the chat window, look for the phone icon at the top right corner of the screen (it resembles an old-fashioned telephone receiver).

Additional Tips

• Microphone and Speaker: Ensure that your computer’s microphone and speaker are properly configured and working correctly to facilitate the call.
• Webcam Use: WhatsApp Web does not support video calls at this time, so you will only be able to make voice calls.

By following these steps, you can easily make calls from the web version of WhatsApp, enhancing your communication capabilities without being tied to your mobile device.
