Whatsapp video call not working on desktop app

I am using windows 10 pro, build 19042. I installed Whatsapp desktop app from Microsoft store, but the video call is not working properly. After I click the call/video call option on the desktop app, the options grey out & do not connect immediately, the call connects after 40-45 seconds.

The video calling used to work fine on the Whatsapp standalone software, which is outdated now. The issue exists on the Whatsapp app that I installed from Microsoft store.

Please tell me how do I fix it?

 

WhatsApp video calling problems

Hi,

I experience the same issue on an Lumnia 640.

The same problems as you describe, black screen instead of video and if un click EndCall it does not end the call, only after a few minutes.

it happens when calling an whatsapp user on Android, if I call a user on a Windows 10 Mobile, video call works ok.

 

Whatsapp desktop - making a chat / call with no contacts

A friend uses Whatsapp from a phone. I'd like to use whatsapp from my desktop or phone to communicate with them.

I have installed whatsapp on my android phone and have connected the desktop. And am leaving the phone turned on, as directed.

I refused to permit Whatsapp to read my contacts, etc.. I'm not a big facebook fan and know that they share everything everywhere and sell it everywhere.

However, I cannot figure a way to make or even receive a call using whatsapp without using my contacts list.
Is this true or is there something I'm missing. On the desktop app I put in a phone number and it wants to search my contacts, which of course it does not have. After using "Create Group" same thing.

No way to make a call at all with whatsapp if you don't share your contacts with it?

if so, Whatsapp is completely broken for me.

And if so that's fine since I can use Skype or Discord just fine.

Thanks much,
