Making video calls on WhatsApp on a laptop is not as smooth as doing it on a mobile phone. Whether through the web or desktop, making video calls on WhatsApp on a laptop has several shortcomings. Here are some of the shortcomings of making video calls on WhatsApp on a laptop.
1. Highly Dependent on Internet Connection
Making video calls on WhatsApp on a laptop is highly dependent on the internet connection. If the internet connection on the laptop is unstable or if there are too many open tabs, the smoothness of the video call on WhatsApp can be disrupted. So before starting a video call on WhatsApp on a laptop, it is advisable to ensure a stable connection and close unnecessary tabs.
2. Still Dependent on the Application and WhatsApp Connection on the Mobile Phone
Making video calls on WhatsApp on a laptop is also highly dependent on the condition of the WhatsApp application on the mobile phone. This means that if the connection on the phone is disconnected until WhatsApp is dead, then WA opened on the laptop will also not be accessible.
3. Laptop Battery Consumption
Doing video calls on a laptop tends to consume more battery. Because when doing so, many laptop devices are working, from the camera, screen, to the microphone. Therefore, this can certainly disrupt the smoothness of work.
4. Limited Quality
The quality of video and sound produced when making WhatsApp video calls on a laptop will also be very limited. This is because it depends on the specifications of the camera and microphone on the laptop. So, it is advisable to use additional devices such as headphones when doing video calls on WhatsApp.
