free video call for Whatsapp

The plans to bring video calling to WhatsApp are still in its closed alpha stage and it is being tested within a closed group of employees and the company is expected to roll out a beta version in the next few months, said a DFA report citing an unnamed WhatsApp source.
"While there is no dearth of IM apps with video calling, what would make the WhatsApp feature stand out is its ability to double as a live streaming service", the source said.
This comes close on the heels of Meerkat and Periscope which are creating quite a buzz with their live-streaming abilities.
With the addition of video calling, WhatsApp will not only take on the likes of Skype, FaceTime and Hangouts, but will also compete with the recently introduced video-streaming apps that are yet to make a niche for themselves.
The live streaming feature is also WhatsApp's first step at opening up to news organisations. Many news outlets have been using WhatsApp as a communication tool but have been restricted by the limited features that WhatsApp includes for one-to-many communication.
