Everyone is quite aware of the fact that making a video call is not natively possible from one’s Mac. But there are a few hacks that enables the user to do so.

An Android emulator helps in using and testing Android applications on your PC. There are quite a number of them in the market and one can easily download them. One of the most popular among them is BlueStacks and is available for free. It is compatible with most of the versions of iOS.

With emulator BlueStacks installed you can view all your Android Apps in your Mac. All your Android Apps can be used just like in your mobile device.

Open the App Store from your Mac and download and install WhatsApp. Set up WhatsApp from the Bluestack in your Mac.

5. Login to your Google Account

Bluestack can only be installed once the user has logged in their Google Account. Though both the emulator and WhatsApp need proper programming Google here is the sole connector which makes everything finally run.

6. Setting up WhatsApp features

Just as in your phone, set up WhatsApp with your verifying number. The App sends an OTP which must be entered correctly in order for you to get access to your WhatsApp account.

7. You are ready to make video calls from your Mac.

Now login to your WhatsApp and you will be able to view the video camera icon on the upper right corner of the WhatsApp Home page. Click on the icon and you are now ready to make video calls.
