The caller can view the receiver\u2019s video stream but the receiver cannot view the caller\u2019s stream.

If they don&#8217;t respond right away and their status doesn&#8217;t say &#8220;On a Call,&#8221; then it&#8217;s likely that they are currently on a video call. You can also look for signs like low-quality audio or video from their end if you are already in an existing call with them.

Underneath the General section, tap \u201cAccount\u201d and then \u201cPrivacy.\u201d Here you will find an option titled \u201cLast Seen,&#8221; which allows you to restrict who can see your last seen time stamp. You can choose between &#8220;Nobody,&#8221; &#8220;My Contacts,&#8221; or &#8220;Everyone.&#8221; Selecting Nobody means no one will be able to view when you were last active on WhatsApp &#8211; making it appear as though you are offline even if you are using it at that moment in time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_when_you_video_call_someone_on_WhatsApp\"><\/span>What happens when you video call someone on WhatsApp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you video call someone on WhatsApp, you can have a face-to-face conversation with them using your smartphone or computer.

Once connected, you will be able to see and hear each other clearly as if you were talking in person.
