How can I make WhatsApp video calls on my desktop? Do I need to use the WhatsApp web or its desktop app?

WhatsApp is one of the biggest social apps of the present time, with over 1.5 billion active users. Nevertheless, there are times when users struggle to do the simplest of tasks with it.

For instance, while making calls on the WhatsApp iOS/Android app is pretty easy, doing the same on a desktop can be a tedious job.

Thankfully, there is a smart solution to make video calls on WhatsApp desktop. In this guide, I will answer this common query about the WhatsApp desktop video call feature and will also tell you how to video call on WhatsApp desktop like a pro!

How to Make WhatsApp Videos Calls on Mac or Windows PC?

Since you can’t use the WhatsApp web or the desktop application to make video calls, you need to use a device emulator. There are several free Android emulators in the market that you can try to make WhatsApp video calls on desktop.

BlueStacks is the most popular emulator, let’s consider it in this guide. You can easily download BlueStacks on your Windows or Mac system and emulate your Android device. It will allow you to run WhatsApp in its original form on your computer, and you can access the calling feature as well.

Download the application on your Mac or Windows PC. Once the setup file is downloaded, launch it, and click on the “Install Now” button. You can customize the installation process if you want to before agreeing to its terms and conditions.
Please wait for a few minutes as the BlueStacks installer would extract all the needed files from its server and install the application. When the installation is completed, you will be notified.
After finishing the setup, launch the BlueStacks desktop application on your Mac or Windows PC. Initially, it might take a while for the app to complete the process. You would need to enter your Google account credentials (linked to your device) to proceed.
Now, BlueStacks will connect your Google account and would try to fetch all the app-related details. Once the app is launched, go to the search bar (or Play Store) and look for WhatsApp.
As you would get the WhatsApp details on the screen, click on the “Install” button, and agree to the terms and conditions.
In no time, WhatsApp will be installed on your BlueStacks account and will be displayed on its home. Launch it and perform its initial setup while entering the same phone number linked to your account.
That’s it! You can now access your WhatsApp on your Mac or Windows PC. Although your contacts would automatically be retrieved here, you can even manually add new contacts.
Now, go to the contact you wish to chat with and tap on the video calling button. Grant the application access to your desktop’s camera and microphone to start the video chat.

A few weeks ago I knew nothing about Bluetooth.

Nothing. Zip. Nada. I never used it - not for headsets, not for messaging, not for file transfer - never even turned it on. Then a little robot ball arrived in my life. His name is Sphero.

He's a ball.
He can roll.
He can turn.
He can glow.
He can stream out data.
And he loves Bluetooth.

Now I still know I don't know much about Bluetooth, but I do know a little..

How to open the Bluetooth settings page?

That's an easy one:

You might need to call this to help the user find new devices - it's easier than supplying a UI yourself.

How to prepare your WP8 app for Bluetooth?

Easy - all you need to do is to open WMAppManfest.xml and to make sure ID_CAP_PROXIMITY and ID_CAP_NETWORKING are both checked.

How to find known (paired) Bluetooth devices?

All you need to do is to call the FindAllPeersAsync static method on the PeerFinder class.

Before you do, set the alternate identities so that it only returns existing known Bluetooth devices - don't ask why. just do it!

This asynchronously returns an IEnumerable of PeerInformation objects. You can use this to find the ones you are interested in. For example to filter the IEnumerable down to just the ones with a name which contains 'Sphero' use Linq like:

That was super easy. Now I want to talk to it. How do I do that?

Once you've got the identity of your Bluetooth object - e.g. to Sphero - then the next step is to connect to it. This is easy. create a socket and ask it to connect to the hostname from the peer information object:

One interesting thing here is the argument passed to ConnectAsync. The argument this method takes is 'the service name or TCP port number of the remote network destination' - so to work out what to use, you often need to read some documentation or have ties.

If the socket fails to open, then an exception will be thrown. This is normally just a System.Exception - and often it has an HRESULT as the error message - so it's not very user friendly.

However, if the socket connects, you'll then be able to access the Read and Write functions - so you can both receive and send data.

For example, to ask Sphero to change his current colour you could send the integer sequence:

You can send this using code like:

where GetBufferFromByteArray is just this helper:

In response to this request you might get:

Which you can receive using:

This returns an IBuffer and you can read the bytes from this using:

Obviously this is quite technical, but it's easy enough to do.

To work out more about the bytes you need to send and receive, obviously you need some technical information.

For Sphero, for example, see the Low Level API spec shared on http://forum.gosphero.com/forumdisplay.php?8-Low-Level-API-amp-Release-Notes

That's super awesome. Where can I find out more about Sphero?

My finished Sphero app is on the marketplace at: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/ball-control/79ffe7ec-0bb2-45e2-804d-8370ccdf68f4

I've also released the full source code to this app on:https://github.com/slodge/BallControl - it's MS-PL so you can use it!

There are heaps of coding projects going on at the moment - games, toys, controllers, and beyond. we're also thinking about doing a Gangnam Style Global Sphero dance early next year - if you want to join in with the coding or the playing, then please do.

Could I run Sphero on Windows 8 too?

Sadly when they wrote the spec for Windows Store apps, they decided not to include much Bluetooth support. I have asked lots of questions about this. And lots of people say my request is important to them.But either no-one really knows or no-one is really saying if or when there will be any better support. Hopefully soon.

Is this just about Sphero? What other Bluetooth devices are out there?

There are hundreds (thousands?) of Bluetooth enabled devices out there. If you want to look at some more toys, try things like the helicopters and cars from http://www.bee-wi.com/en.cfm

If you are looking at more serious applications, then there are things like office tools, and manufacturing and medical monitoring equipment available. Or you can always just use Bluetooth for phone-2-phone, phone-2-tablet, phone-2-PC or maybe even phone-2-TV communications. There are heaps of possibilities!

What about fitness devices like Heart Rate Monitors?

Things like Heart Rate Monitors use a low energy form of Bluetooth. Sadly, someone forgot these when they wrote the spec for Windows Phone 8. which is 'a shame'. The good news is that manufacturers like Nokia have exceeded the WP8 spec - so there is hardware support in the 920 for Heart Rate Monitors.

Hopefully, Nokia will deliver on their promise - and differentiate their devices away from WP8. hopefully soon. and hopefully they'll do it by allowing us to have Bluetooth LE support. This could be done a bit like how WP7 developers got access to the compass and the flash LED even though these things weren't really in the platform at the time.

I wrote to Stephen Elopat Nokia about this. He replied:

So here I sit still hoping. :)
