Concept#
Method responsible for sending audios to your chats, you can work with two types of audios which are:
By link, where you have an audio hosted somewhere on the internet and it sends the audio’s link
By Base64. If you have opted for this option you will need to have a method on your website to convert the audio to Base64.
Sizes and formats#
WhatsApp limits the sizes of files and its politics constantly changes and because of that we always recommend that you verify directly on WhatsApp’s website.
In this link you can find everything that you need to know about formatting and file sizing.
