In the era of remote work and virtual meetings, communication platforms like WhatsApp are constantly evolving to meet the needs of professionals. One of the latest updates introduced by the popular messaging app is the “Events” feature, designed to simplify the process of scheduling virtual meetings directly within the app. Gone are the days of juggling multiple applications like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom for scheduling and managing calls.
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way we work, with many of us transitioning from physical offices to virtual spaces. One of the main challenges in this shift has been the hassle of arranging meetings, confirming schedules, and ensuring everyone has the right link or access to join. WhatsApp’s Events feature streamlines this process, making it easier to organize and schedule virtual meetings all within one platform.
By integrating scheduling into WhatsApp, professionals can now set up calls with ease—without the need to navigate through third-party applications. Whether it’s a work meeting, family gathering, or group project discussion, scheduling a call on WhatsApp has never been simpler.
Follow these easy steps to schedule a call using WhatsApp’s new feature:
Once scheduled, everyone in the group will receive a notification and be able to join the call at the set time—no more waiting for confirmations or sharing external links!
It’s important to note that the “Events” feature is currently only available for group chats—you cannot schedule calls with individual contacts using this feature. However, if you need to schedule a call with an individual, you can use the “Call Link” feature to generate a link and share it with your contacts.
