It does not appear users will be able to make calls via the link feature.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in addition to Call Links announced that WhatsApp will be testing encrypted group video calling with up 32 participants. This is a WhatsApp feature that was announced in May along with its community features. It looks like they are finally ready to make it available to customers.
