Can’t make calls on Whatsapp from PC? In this case, you have to take into account that, at the moment, this functionality is only available in the client Whatsapp (or in the application) for Windows 10 (and later) and macOS 10 (and later). Therefore, if you are using WhatsApp Web, you will not have calls or video calls available.

That said, all you have to do, in this specific case, is download Whatsapp for desktop via the official website of the service by pressing the key Download for Windows or Download for Mac OS X, in order to run the messaging service installation wizard.

Alternatively, you can proceed by acting on the Microsoft Store, for Windows by pressing the key Install or from Mac App Store for macOS, pressing the button Get / Install.
