It’s called Call Link.
The latest addition allows you to share a link to a WhatsApp video call.
This can then be sent onto other friends, family and just about anyone.
“We’re rolling out call links on WhatsApp starting this week so you can share a link to start a call with a single tap,” boss Mark Zuckerberg said.
The social networking giant has also revealed that it has began testing group video calls for up to 32 people.
At the moment, only eight participants can be active on a video call at one time.

If it’s still not there, hang tight, Facebook says it’s rolling out, so should be available to everyone very soon.
