Send a video message on WhatsApp: Instructions
If you want to show something and send it as a video, this is now possible on WhatsApp. It works very simply:
- Open WhatsApp. Tap the microphone button. You record the video directly in the app.
- Instead of the microphone icon, you will then see your camera icon. A three-second countdown is displayed so that you can prepare for the recording.
- Once this is done, you can record a video and send it just like a voice message by tapping “Send”.
- This feature works the same for Android and iOS.
