How can I use Whatsapp video call on Linux?

I tried Whatsapp-for-Linux and Whatsie but they didn’t work.

    Discord uses unencrypted WebRTC

    I’m a noob but how unencrypted are we talking about here? Can someone do a packet capture and reconstruct the video? Or like unencrypted at the machine level and other processes can see.

      It’s encrypted between the client and Discord, but not end-to-end encrypted like WhatsApp supposedly is. That means Discord can listen in on any calls, but WhatsApp shouldn’t be able to.

      Both are closed source so it’s hard to say how secure both ends are, but at least theoretically WhatsApp is more secure.
