When someone shares their screen during a call, the audio they play on their device will also be shared with others in the call. This means that over 2 billion active users worldwide can enjoy a synchronised audio experience even in one-on-one video conversations. The new feature is not only limited to sharing music, but it also allows participants to watch videos together while synchronising their video playback experiences. This creates a virtual movie-watching or content-sharing session and promotes a sense of togetherness in group interactions. If you have an iPhone, this feature will work similarly to SharePlay, which is Apple’s inbuilt feature to share music and movies with other iPhone users on a call.
