Chromecast Whatsapp - How to Cast Whatsapp Video Calls to TV

WhatsApp is the most favored option in the Google Play Store when it comes to instant messaging apps. You would always find the developers of WhatsApp grinding out new features and updates to improve the user experience on the platform. However, there are quite a few features that are yet to be added to WhatsApp. Being able to Cast WhatsApp To Smart TVs is one of the features that most people are waiting for. I personally do not like to watch certain WhatsApp images, videos and status on my smartphone due to the size of the screen. Some things always look better when you watch them on a bigger such as your Television.

Of course, there's WhatsApp web available if you want a bigger screen experience. However, the problem with WhatsApp web is that it looks clumsy and takes a lot of time to load media files. Therefore, I always Chromecast WhatsApp to TV using the following method rather than using the WhatsApp web due to its awful interface.
