In this Corona pandemic situation, the demand of video call has been increased. Facebook has released the ‘Room’ feature to compete with the ‘Zoom’ app. Facebook has announced the launch of the room feature worldwide from 14th May.
Three weeks ago, Facebook announced the release of the room feature. Facebook has said it will add some simple features to the room to attract zoom users. Group video calls can be made with up to 50 people in the room. People outside of Facebook can also be invited to the room by sharing links from Facebook and Messenger.
Messenger vice president Stan Chudnovsky said in a blog post that room sharing can also be started on Facebook news feeds, groups and events. It can be easily invited from anywhere. Room users can decide who can be added.
According to Facebook’s blog post, global users will be able to turn on the room from Messenger and North American users will be able to do so from Facebook. For this you need to have Facebook and Messenger update app. You need to download the Messenger desktop app on Windows. Mac users can also download apps from the Mac App Store.
Facebook is also reportedly testing the Messenger Room service on WhatsApp recently. The idea is that soon Facebook may also add it to Instagram and WhatsApp.
