WhatsApp wrote on Twitter: "For your eyes, not your ears. You can now mute the audio on your videos before adding them to your Status or sending in chat. Now available on Android."  The new Mute Video feature can be found on the video-editing screen. A volume icon now pops up under the seek bar, by clicking on which will mute the outgoing video.

According to WABetaInfo, who keeps a track of WhatsApp’s latest features, had managed to get a hands-on of the new feature early last month. The website back then reported that certain users using the app’s beta version have likely received the feature via beta v2.21.3.13 update. The feature basically allows users to mute a video before sending it to their contact.

Here's how to use WhatsApp Mute Video: First, the users need to open the WhatsApp app on Google Play Store and click the update option. Once the app is updated to its latest version, launch it on your device. The Mute Video feature is available both for individual chat and Status mode. To make use of the new mute video feature, record a video (either on chat tile or Status)

Once you are complete the recording part, you will see a volume icon at the top left corner, tap on it to mute video and you are all set to send the soundless outgoing video to the respective recipient. The new WhatsApp Mute Video feature is currently available only for Android users; however the company has not given any update on the iOS release yet.
