## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **[Video](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/312054/5-websites-that-pay-you-for-editing-videos) calls** made over WhatsApp are totally end-to-end encrypted, making them completely safe and secure for consumers. Unlike voice conversations, however, users who utilise WhatsApp's video calling feature can multi-task in addition to making video calls.
- One important aspect of video calls that isn't entirely trustworthy is that the person with whom you're video calling can monitor your activities even if they aren't on the line with you. So, even before you dial your friend's number, prepare yourself.
- In the event that a work interruption occurs during the video call, the user can easily **pause** or silence the connection.
- you can turn of camera and mute the call too.
