The addition of this feature will open a new horizon for video calling on WhatsApp, similar to what Apple has done with the SharePlay featur in FaceTime on iPhone and Mac.
According to WABetaInfo, the ability to listen to video and music audio together is now available to some beta testers. The new feature not only promotes a sense of togetherness in group interactions but also brings an added layer of intimacy to one-on-one conversations.

Moreover, users in a call can also watch videos together, experimenting with shared audio during their video calls, allowing participants to synchronise their video playback experiences, creating a virtual movie-watching or content-sharing session.

When this feature first reaches you, a pop-up will appear in the app when you are screen sharing on WhatsApp. If allowed, all the participants on the call will be able to collectively listen to any music or audio that is playing on your device.
“Specifically, when someone in the call shares their screen, audio they play on their device will also be shared with other people in the call. It’s important to note that this feature also works in individual calls, allowing users to enjoy a synchronised audio experience even in one-on-one video conversations,”
Users will now be able to search for others by entering their username into the search bar, in a future update of the web client. The feature will be rolling out to even more people over the coming weeks, the report mentioned.
