FAQ — WhatsApp Video Calls
WhatsApp video call recorded ho sakti hai?
WhatsApp mein built-in call recording nahi hai. Screen recording (Android built-in ya iOS built-in) se record kar sakte hain — lekin dusri party ko inform karna legally aur ethically zaroori hai. Call recording laws India mein vary karte hain.
WhatsApp vs Google Meet — Kab Kya Use Karein?
WhatsApp: Close contacts, small groups (family, friends, small teams) — quick informal calls. Google Meet: Professional meetings, large groups (100+ participants), presentation-heavy calls, browser se join karna ho. WhatsApp 32 participants tak kaafi achha hai; usse zyada ke liye Meet ya Zoom better hai.
Data Save mode mein video call quality?
WhatsApp Settings → Storage and Data → “Use less data for calls” toggle ON karne se call data use significantly kam hota hai — quality thodi drop hoti hai lekin calls usable rehti hain slow connections pe bhi.
