Meta Introduces In-Chat Short Video On WhatsApp — …And How To Use It

Did you know that Meta recently introduced a new feature that allows you to send in-chat short video messages on via WhatsApp?

Per enhanced communication, it’s a great way to quickly share a video with your friends or family without having to upload it to a separate platform or via other in-app features on the instant green app messenger.

According to WhatsApp blog post: “Video messages are a real-time way to respond to chats with whatever you want to say and show in 60 seconds.

We think these will be a fun way to share moments with all the emotion that comes from video, whether it’s wishing someone a happy birthday, laughing at a joke, or bringing good news.”

I tried it out and it’s really easy to use – just tap the camera icon in the chat bar and hold down the record button to capture your video.
