How can I use Whatsapp video call on Linux? I tried Whatsapp-for-Linux and Whatsie but they didn’t work.

minus-square@sandayle@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilink11•9 months agoThank you, I like Jitsi but it is not always under my control. My supervisor sometimes calls me on Whatsapp and there is nothing I can do.

minus-square@helenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilink0•9 months agoTell your supervisor WhatsApp doesn’t work on your computer and suggest any of the several dozen alternatives.
minus-square@Telorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilink2•9 months agoGood plan, and don’t mention that you use Linux. Just leave it nebulous so they don’t think they can “voluntell” you to install Windows instead.

Is it scrcpy?
Yes, that was it
