Send a video message with WhatsApp: Instructions

If you want to show something and send it as a video, this is now possible with WhatsApp. It works very simply:

  • Open WhatsApp. Tap the microphone button. You record the video directly in the app
  • You will then see your camera icon instead of the microphone icon. A three-second countdown will be 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 function works the same for Android and iOS.
