Instant messaging app WhatsApp has reportedly started rolling out the support for muting videos before sharing them on the platform. As per a report by WABetaInfo, this feature has been rolled out for Android beta users of the app and is soon expected to be rolled out publicly too.

As per the report, WhatsApp rolled out a new update for beta users — version 2.21.3.13 — which includes a toggle that can mute a video. The screenshot provided in the report shows that this toggle will appear with other editing options such as trimming, adding text, stickers and more.
The first mention of this feature from WABetaInfo — the online platform that tracks the upcoming features and changes on the Facebook-owned app — was made in November 2020 with the Android beta version 2.20.207.2 of the app when the feature was under development.
